You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which

Please note that the private third party running the AsktheEu.org website

We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website

If you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is
published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can
provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further

electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address,
and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You
should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website

Dear Jude Omidiran,

We refer to your e-mail of 03/07/2020 in which you make a request for
access to documents, registered on 03/07/2020 under reference number
GESTDEM 2020/4032.

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 on 27/07/2020.

An extended time limit is needed as the application concerns documents
held by different Services, which must 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 17/08/2020.

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

Yours faithfully,

Access to documents teams

Secretariat-General Unit E2
