Interservice consultation on Standardisation strategy
Dear Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs,
Good evening,
on the 2nd of February 2022, the EU Commission published a "standardisation package". It included a standardisation strategy, a proposal for amending the Regulation on standardisation, a report on the implementation of this regulation, and an annual work programme for European standardisation.
I would like to use my right of access to documents, as laid out in regulation 1049/2001. I request access to all documents from the EU Commission regarding the interservice consultation that was conducted on each of the files of this package before their adoption by the college of Commissioners on 2nd February 2022.
That includes, among others, the draft documents drafted by DG Grow and sent for the consultations, and all the replies and comments that it got from other DGs and Commission services.
I prefer to receive these documents by email, but if needed my postal address is : Avenue Voltaire 68 ; 1030 Bruxelles.
Thanks a lot,
Best regards,
Yours faithfully,
Jean Comte
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your e-mail of 28 March 2022. We hereby acknowledge receipt
of your application for access to documents, which was registered on 30
March 2022 under reference number GESTDEM 2022/1870.
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 25
April 2022. 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 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.
