Dear Madam,
We are writing concerning your request for access to Commission documents
registered on 5 June 2026 under case number EASE 2026/2875.
We are currently working on your request. However, we have not yet been
able to gather all the elements necessary to carry out a full analysis of
your request. We will not be able to send you the reply within the
prescribed time limit expiring on 26 June 2026.
An extended time limit is needed as several of the documents requested
originate from third parties, which have been consulted.
Therefore, in line with Article 7(3) of [1]Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001,
we need to extend this time limit by 15 additional working days. The new
time limit expires on 20 July 2026.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Kind regards,
