Dear Ms da Silva,
We refer to your e-mail dated 18/05/2018 in which you clarified your
request for access to documents, registered under the above mentioned
reference number.
Your application is currently being handled. However, we were not in a
position to complete the handling of your application within the time
limit of 15 working days, which expired on 12/06/2018.
An extended time limit is needed as your application concerns documents
held by different Services which had to be consulted.
Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days in
accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding
public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 03/07/2018.
We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours faithfully,
RTD Access to documents
