SOLVIT
Dear Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
1. A list of all SOLVIT cases of the last three years, which were initiated through a complaint by businesses, business representatives or trade associations (legal person). Please include the case's reference numbers, titles and dates of issue, preferably in the format of xlsx,csv or json.
2. In the Action plan on the Reinforcement of SOLVIT (COM(2017) 255 final), the European Commission refers to one SOLVIT case in which „French aviation authorities had been blocking a Norwegian aviation company from operating domestic flights in France“ (page 3). Please send me the SOLVIT complaint by the Norwegian aviation company as well as subsequent communication between the European Commission and the French authorities.
SOLVIT represents a key instrument, which aims at preventing formal infringement procedures through cooperation between Member State institutions and the EU authorities. It is essential for the functioning of the European Single Market. Thus, there is a clear public interest in the disclosure of these information, in order for citizens to better comprehend the democratic decision making process. The transparency rules as set out in the Lisbon Treaty oblige the EU institutions to work as openly and as closely as possible to citizens.
Yours faithfully,
Moritz Neujeffski

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your e-mail of 08/09/2022. We hereby acknowledge receipt of your application for access to documents, which was registered on 12/09/2022 under reference number GESTDEM 2022/5105.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application will be handled within 15 working days. The time limit will expire on 03/10/2022. In case this time limit needs to be extended, you will be informed in due course.
You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which has no link with any institution of the European Union. Therefore, the European Commission cannot be held accountable for any technical issues or problems linked to the use of this system.
Please note that the private third party running the website is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data via that website, and not the Commission. For further information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s privacy policy.
We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).
Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by 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 correspondence. In that case, the Commission will send all future 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 about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply from, the Commission.
For information on how we process your personal data visit our page Privacy statement – access to documents.
Yours faithfully,

access to documents, registered on 12 September 2022 under the above
mentioned reference number.
I would like to ask you for some clarifications as regards your request.
If we could have a talk (or by email), it could enable me to understand
the exact documents you would like to have and the purpose if okay to you.
This way we can see together which documents are most useful for your
