Dear Mr Ed Callaghan,

This message is an acknowledgement of receipt for your requests for access
to documents, which were registered on 18 February 2026, under Regulation
1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and
Commission documents, which the EEAS is also respecting.

Your requests for access to documents have been registered under reference

Please refer to these numbers in any further correspondence.

In accordance with the Regulation, you will receive a reply within 15

Your personal data will be processed in accordance with Regulation (EU)

Dear Mr Callaghan,

Thank you for your request for access to documents, in which you ask for:
All communication including internal and external emails (including but
not limited to protocols, minutes or any other written notes) related to
migration and/or border management in Tunisia between the EEAS headquarter
in Brussels and the Delegation of the European Union to Tunisia between 1
June 2025 and 31 January 2026.

We are contacting you in line with Article 6(2) of the Regulation to
possibly clarify and delimit the scope of your request to the regular
reports exchanged between the EEAS HQ and relevant EU Delegation. In fact,
including internal communications such as emails would lead to an
excessive number of documents identified and to be assessed in the context
of the request. This would have an excessive impact on the administrative
burden on the institution and would impact on the ability to respond to
the request within the deadlines prescribed by the Regulation. Moreover,
most of such exchanges may not necessarily contain information that could
be considered as useful or meaningful for the purpose of your request.

Against this background, would you agree on the above proposal?

Yours sincerely,

EEAS ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS
