Exchanges on Pegasus
Alexander Fanta made this access to documents request to Secretariat General of the European Commission as part of a batch sent to 6 authorities This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.
Dear access to documents team,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents mentioned in a recent reply to parliament by the Commission (E-000713/2022). The documents in question concern a possible blacklisting of Israeli manufacturer NSO Group and the spyware Pegasus. The reply by Commissioner Breton mentions that the Commission "has raised the issue with the export control authorities of the Member States and with Israel, with a view to mitigating the risks associated with trade in these sensitive products."
I want to request all exchanges with Member States as well as with Israel on the issue. My request is also meant to cover all internal communication within the Commission (such as e-mails, legal analysis) related to said exchanges.
The applicant notes that he has filed an identical request with DG Trade, which was transferred to DG Grow (GESTDEM 2022/3316). DG Grow has informed me in a reply dating from July 20, 2022 that it holds no document corresponding to that description. I therefore hope to identify the DG that does indeed hold the document or documents in question.
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Fanta
