Dear Sir,

We refer to your request for access to documents, registered on 29/01/2024
under the above mentioned reference number.

Your application is currently being handled. However, we will not be in a
position to complete the handling of your application within the time
limit of 15 working days, which expires today.

An extended time limit is needed as the application concerns different

public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 11/03/2024.

We apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause. 

Yours sincerely.

Dear Ms Cann,

Please be informed that your confirmatory request was dully forwarded for the review to the Secretariat-General of the European Commission.

At the same time, we would like to take this opportunity to inform you that:

- with reference to item 21 - this is a record not a document, i.e. it does not concern EU policies, it concerns technical details of the organisation of a Webex call, including dealing-in numbers, passwords, https addresses; it is therefore out of scope of your request and should not in any case be in the public domain (also for reasons of cybersecurity);

- with reference item 33 - this is not a DG GROW document therefore it falls out of scope of your request concerning documents of DG GROW, for your information the document originates from DG CLIMA.

Both items were included in the table to provide you with the outmost transparency.

Finally, we would kindly ask you, for the future reference, with reference to the launching the confirmatory requests to follow the instructions provided in the reply to your initial request, i.e.:

"a confirmatory application should be addressed to the Secretariat-General of the Commission within 15 working days upon receipt of this letter.

You can submit it in one of the following ways:

by asking for a review via your portal account (available only for initial requests submitted via the portal account),

or by mail:
European Commission
Secretariat-General
Transparency, Document Management & Access to Documents (SG.C.1)
BERL 7/076
B-1049 Bruxelles

or by email to: [adresse e-mail]"

Kind regards,
