Please note that a complete disclosure of the identified documents is prevented by the
exception concerning the protection of privacy and the integrity of the individual outlined
in Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, because they contain the following
personal data:
- the names/initials and contact information of Commission staff members not
pertaining to the senior management;
-
the names/initials and contact details of other natural persons,
Article 9(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 does not allow the transmission of these
personal data, except if you prove that it is necessary to have the data transmitted to you
for a specific purpose in the public interest and where there is no reason to assume that
the legitimate interests of the data subject might be prejudiced. In your request, you do not
express any particular interest to have access to these personal data nor do you put forward

in the public interest.
Consequently, we conclude that, pursuant to Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No
1049/2001, access cannot be granted to the personal data contained in the requested
document, as the need to obtain access thereto for a purpose in the public interest has not
