I would kindly request some additional information:

Dear PAD,
Thank so much for your answer.
I was wondering if the authority can fill the blanks left in the dataset you sent me.
I am concerned regarding a part of my application that has not been answered. This is about the availability of coordinates of incidents/operations. It seems that Frontex is not willing to share this information due to arguably security reasons since, as they said, the smugglers can exploit this information. I believe that if this is the case they could have already exploited the map in FRAN Q1 2017 where implicitly contains coordinates. The coordinates could have been retrieved anyhow since smugglers have access to internet and then to google maps. So, they can already use those coordinates and the information. This makes the public security concern weak.
I was wondering if it is possible to revised my request.
I hope this issue could be solved.
Yours sincerely,
Claudio Deiana
