Dear Sir,

Thank you for your request for access to documents.

Unfortunately, you have not indicated your postal address. This is
necessary for registering and handling your request in line with the
procedural requirements.

We suggest to use directly the electronic form available on the Europa
website: [1]https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/docume...

Alternatively, you could send us your full postal address at your earliest
convenience. Pending your reply, we reserve the right to refuse the
registration of your request.

Please also note that you have lodged your application via a private
third-party website (asktheeu.org), 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 Ask the EU website is
responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data via
that website, and not the Commission. For further information on your
rights, please refer to the third party’s privacy policy.

We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website
usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the
Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may
have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).

Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the
Commission will send to the e-mail address of the applicants generated by
the AsktheEU.org website.

If you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is
published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can
provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further
correspondence. In that case, the Commission will send all future
electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address,
and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You
should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website
about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply
from, the Commission.

For information on how we process your personal data visit our page

Yours faithfully,

TAXUD Access to Documents Team
