Dear Sir,

We are writing concerning your request for access to Commission documents

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 5/1/2023 since:

• the application concerns documents held by different Services, which
must be consulted.

Dear Mr. Haar,

Please be informed that we are working on your access to documents request
and that the reply will follow as soon as possible.

The reasons for this delay are: a huge number of documents to be redacted
and we are waiting for replies to third consultation parties (actually 1
of the 3 responded, we sent both reminders today).

Many thanks for your understanding.

Kind regards,

DG GROW ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS TEAM
