Dear Sir/Madam,
We are writing concerning your request for access to Commission documents
registered on 12/08/2025 under case number EASE 2025/4139.
We are currently working on your request. However, we have not yet been
able to gather all the elements necessary to carry out a full analysis of
your request, partially also because your request was submitted to EPSO
and was transferred to DG HR on 25/08/2025. Therefore we will not be able
to send you the reply within the prescribed time limit expiring on
03/09/2025.
Therefore, in line with Article 7(3) of [1]Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001,
we need to extend this time limit by 15 additional working days. The new
time limit expires on 24/09/2025.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Kind regards,
Mojca BOLTIN
Head of EC Traineeships Office
