Dear Mr Logue,

 

We refer to your request for access to documents under Regulation (EC) No
1049/2001, registered on the 5^th  of January 2026 under the
above-mentioned reference number.

 

The description given in your application does not enable us to determine
the precise scope of your request.  

Indeed, you mention “the main pleadings of the Commission, the UK and the
Ireland without annexes for case C-530/11”.

 

We would like to clarify whether your request concerns:

• The mains pleadings meaning the submissions of the Commission and the
[ADDRESS REDACTED] of Great Britain and Northen Ireland (application,
defense, reply, rejoinder); or
• When mentioning Ireland, you request also the statement in
intervention of Ireland in this case.
