Dear Mr Akkerman,

 

On 20 October 2015, the time-limit for replying to your application was
extended by 15 working days, until 11 November 2015.

 

No documents covered by your request have until now been identified.  Some
final verifications still need to be carried out in order to be sure that
there are indeed no such documents held by the European Council.  This
will only be possible in the coming days.  You will receive a concluding
reply as soon as possible.

 

We apologise for the delay in replying to your request.

 

Yours sincerely,
