Dear Sir,
Subject:
Your application for access to documents – Ref. GESTDEM 2020/2569
We refer to your e-mail of 06 May 2020 in which you make a request for access to documents,
registered on the same date under the above mentioned reference number.
Your application is currently being handled. However, we will not be in a position to complete the
handling of your application within the time limit of 15 working days, which expires on 29 May 2020.
An extended time limit is needed as the application concerns different projects, and their related
documents, some of which originating from third parties, which need to be retrieved and examined.
Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days in accordance with Article 7(3) of
Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to documents. The new time limit expires on
19 June 2020.
We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours faithfully,
Hans Christian STAUSBOLL
