Public consultation on Guidelines 3/2018
Dear European Data Protection Board,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting the comments submitted to the EDPB in the context of the public consultation on Guidelines 3/2018 on the territorial scope of the GDPR (Article 3).
Contrarily to other consultations on EDPB guidelines, it seems to me that the submitted comments are not publicly available on the EDPB website (https://www.edpb.europa.eu/our-work-tool...).
Thank you very much for your attention.
Yours faithfully,
Matteo Nebbiai

Dear correspondent,
We refer to your request for access to documents, registered on 14/04/2025
under reference number 2025-09.
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 (08/05/2025).
An extended time limit is needed, as your application covers a large
amount of documents that need to be identified and assessed.
Therefore, we have to extend the time limit for another 15 working days in
accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding
public access to documents. The new deadline expires on 03/06/2025.
We apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours sincerely,
The EDPB Secretariat
On behalf of
Irene Loizidou-Nicolaidou, deputy chair of the EDPB
