Minimum space between seats
Alexander Fanta made this access to documents request to European Aviation Safety Agency
Dear European Aviation Safety Agency,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I wish to request all documents related to a rule change that would have introduced a minimum space between airline seats. Such as rule change was considered by EASA in 2007, according to contemporary press reports. A report published by the Daily Telegraph newspaper on 23 June 2007 quotes Elisabeth Schöffmann, a spokeswoman for the EASA, as saying: "We are studying the possibility of changing the rules and imposing a minimum space between seats for all constructors who want to be registered in Europe."
I wish to request:
- All draft versions of the safety rules in question, as well as any internal EASA discussion papers on the matter
- Any exchanges with other governmental agencies and member states authorities on the issue of minimum seat space
- Any exchanges (emails, letters, meeting minutes, etc) with stakeholders, including airlines and manufacturers, on the proposed rule change

Yours faithfully,

My request was made more than 11 weeks ago, and my latest inquiry on the state of the request received no reply. I therefore see this as a deemed refusal, and seek a confirmatory application.
