Dear applicant,
Thank you for your email.
We note that the postal address you provided is based in a country outside the European Union.
In accordance with Article 2(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, read in conjunction with Article 1 of the European Commission’s Detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, only citizens of the Union and natural or legal persons residing or having their registered office in a Member State have the right to access Commission documents.
The information that you have provided so far is not sufficient to establish whether you fulfil this eligibility condition:
- If you are an EU citizen living outside the EU and have submitted your application in your personal capacity, please confirm this by responding to this email.
- (1) If you are not an EU citizen OR (2) if you have submitted your application on behalf of a legal person not having a registered office in one of the Member States, unfortunately the Commission cannot handle your application and it will be closed in due course.
We would appreciate it if you could provide us the necessary clarifications in this respect within 5 working days. In the absence of a reply from you in the prescribed deadline, we will not register this request.
Thank you for your understanding.
