Conditions on public tenders
Dear Human Resources and Security,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
- any mentioning or discussion on the reputation of private security companies that the Commission or other EU institutes of EU agencies contracts or intends to contract
- any mentioning or discussion on questions regarding the (possible) contracting of private security companies might raise in the European Parliament or beyond
- any mentioning of news or reporting regarding private security firms that the Commission contracts or intends to contract
..in the period 2013 until now.
Under 'documents' I also understand emails and minutes and reports relating to meetings in which these affairs were discussed.
I have been in touch with Andreana Stankova, she has my e-mail adress for further correspondence.
Yours faithfully,
Lise Witteman
Dear Mrs Witteman,
Thank you for your e-mail dated 12 September 2019. Unfortunately your email remained unnoticed as it had arrived in our junk mail.
We hereby acknowledge receipt of your application for access to documents, which was registered on 13 November 2019 under reference number GestDem 2019/6615.
Could you please send us your postal address?
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application will be handled within 15 working days. The time limit will expire on 4 December 2019. In case this time limit needs to be extended, you will be informed in due course.
You have lodged your application via the AsktheEU.org website. Please note that this is a private third-party website which has no link with any institution of the European Union. Therefore, the European Commission cannot be held accountable for any technical issues or problems linked to the use of this system.
Please note that the private third party running the AsktheEU.org website is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data via that website, and not the European Commission. For further information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s privacy policy.
We understand that the third party running that website usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the European Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may have communicated to the European Commission (e.g. your private postal address).
Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by the AsktheEU.org website.
If you do not wish your correspondence with the European Commission to be published on the AsktheEU.org website, you can provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further correspondence. In that case, the European Commission will send all future electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address.
Yours faithfully,
