Dear Mr. Murphy,
The deadline for replying to your application received on the 19th of February concerning public access to documents expires today, the 12th of March.
However, due to the fact that the inter-service consultation process for the relevant documents and the fact that the detailed and complex analysis of all legal aspects linked to the possible disclosure of every document identified are still ongoing, Parliament needs to extend exceptionally the time-limit for replying to your application foreseen in Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 by a further 15 working days, in accordance with Article 7(3) of the same regulation.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. We thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards,
