Dear Madam, 

Subject:      Your application for access to documents – Extension of the
Time Limit

We are writing concerning your request for access to Commission documents
registered on 30 April 2025 under case number 2025/2393. 

Your application is currently being handled. However, we will not be able
to complete the handling of your application within the time limit of 15
working days, which expires on 23 May 2025. 

An extended time limit is needed as some of the documents requested
originate from third parties, which have been consulted.  

Therefore, we have to extend the time limit by 15 working days in
accordance with Article 7(3) of [1]Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding
public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 17 June 2025. 

We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.

Yours faithfully,

AGRI ATD Team

We are currently working on your confirmatory request. However, we have

Dear Mrs Sumner,

We refer to your confirmatory application for access to Commission
documents in case EASE 2025/2393, registered on 26 June 2025.

We also refer to our correspondence of 16 July 2025, by which the time
limit for replying to your application was extended by 15 working days,
pursuant to Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001. This extended
time limit expires today and, unfortunately, we are not in a position to
provide you with our final reply within this deadline.

Please note that the replies to confirmatory applications are formal
Commission decisions. The internal decision-making process involves the
consultation of several services, including the Directorate-General
responsible for the case at initial stage, here the Directorate-General
for Agriculture and Rural Development, but also with the Legal Service.
Only after concluding all consultations may a decision be formally adopted
within the Secretariat-General.

At present, the consultation process is still ongoing. We sincerely regret
that we cannot provide you with more concrete information about the
content of the final reply or the date by which you can expect to receive
it. However, please be assured that we endeavour to finalise the internal
decision-making process as soon as possible.

We regret this additional delay and sincerely apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause.

Yours sincerely,

SG.A2 - Access to Documents Team

Dear Ms Sumner,

We would like to thank you for your email enquiring on the status of your
case registered under EASE 2025/2393.

We understand your frustration and are aware, as previously stated in our
correspondence from 6 August 2025, that the extended time limit to provide
you with a response to your confirmatory application is expired.

We apologize again for the delay in responding to your confirmatory
application. We can inform you that the internal procedure for the
adoption of the reply to the confirmatory application is currently
ongoing. However we are not able to give you an immediate reply as you
demand. The Commission is a collegial institution and the adoption process
is still underway, we are therefore not in a position to prejudge of the
final outcome.

We are striving to make sure that the confirmatory decision reaches you as
soon as the adoption process is completed.

Thank you for your patience and kind regards,
