Exchange of letters Francken-Avramopoulos 'asylum applications'

The request was successful.

Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

On the 02/07/2018 Commissionner Avramopoulos D replied to the Belgian State Secretary (Theo Francken) regarding 'implicit asylum applications'. State Secretary had asked then to the EC an opinion on legal aspects related to Directive 2013/32/EU.

I would like to receive a copy of this exchange (so both letters : initial letter/EC reply).

With kind regards,

Eric DUMONT
c/o Cédric DARTOIS
Parvis Notre-Dame, 11

SG ACCES DOCUMENTS, Secretariat General of the European Commission

Dear Sir,

We hereby acknowledge receipt of your application for access to documents,
which was registered on 16/07/2021 under reference number GESTDEM
2021/4579.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days.

The time limit will expire on 09/08/2021. In case this time limit needs to
be extended, you will be informed in due course.

You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, 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 AsktheEU.org 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 email 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.
