Dear Mr Lee,

The European Parliament hereby acknowledges receipt of your message, which
was registered on April 28, 2025.

All applications for public access to documents are treated in compliance
with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of 30 May 2001 regarding public access
to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents.

In accordance with the above-mentioned Regulation, your application will
be handled within 15 working days upon registration of your request.

detailed privacy statement is available [1]here.

The European Parliament reserves the right to ask for additional
information regarding your identity in order to verify compliance with
Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 and the European Parliament’s implementing
measures.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that you have lodged your application

Dear Mr Lee,

The time limit for responding to your application for public access to
documents under Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, as registered on April 28,
2025, expires tomorrow, on May 21, 2025.

However, our consultations and assessment are taking more time than
expected, so that Parliament must exceptionally extend the time limit
provided by Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 by a further 15
working days in accordance with Article 7(3) of that Regulation in order
to reply to your application.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. We thank you for your
understanding.
