AresLook email policy
Alexander Fanta made this access to documents request to Secretariat General of the European Commission This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.
Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting all documents concerning a European Commission corporate decision to automatically delete emails sent and received from Commission email addresses after 6 months. This is meant to include the Commission decision document which outlines the policy, as well as any explanatory documents or internal discussions of said policy.
For context: The existence of said policy is outlined in a presentation called "Document management for senior managers" (Ref· Ares(2015)1764484 - 27/04/2015), which I obtained through a previous access to documents request. It mentions that the automated deletion system for emails was activated on July 1, 2015.
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Fanta
