Dear [geschwärzt], Thank you for your interest in our organisation. Your public access request will be processed in line with the Management Board Rules on Public Access to Europol Documents, herewith attached for your convenience. Kind Regards, G24 - EU & International Law

Dear Mr << Antragsteller:in >>, While processing your request for public access, additional aspects regarding your application, such as ongoing consultations, prolonged the process. Therefore, and in line with Article 3(2) of the Management Board Rules on Public Access to Europol Documents, of which you were provided a copy, an extension for up to 15 working days is necessary in order for us to properly handle your request. Kind Regards, G24 - EU & International Law

Dear [geschwärzt], Europol has assessed your request and has identified one document falling in its scope with no. 1060696. We regret to inform you that Europol has decided to refuse access to it on the basis of Article 4(1)(a) of the Management Board Decision laying down the rules for applying Regulation 1049/2001 with regard to Europol documents, as its disclosure would undermine the protection of the public interest as regards the public security, such as the proper fulfilment of Europol's tasks and the investigations and operational activities of Member States, third parties and Union bodies. The document, classified as EU Restricted, contains sensitive information and an assessment of the threat posed by jihadist terrorism, right-wing and left-wing extremism and terrorism from a law enforcement perspective in the European Union. The release of such sensitive information to the public could impact upon the effectiveness of present and future operational activities of the Member States in their fight against terrorism. The disclosure of the document to the public could also jeopardize the trust and mutual cooperation between Europol and its partners, which is essential to Europol’s activities, consequently hindering Europol’s ability to effectively perform its tasks. You may make a confirmatory application asking Europol to reconsider its position within 15 working days of receiving Europol’s reply, in accordance with Article 5(4) of the Management Board Decision. Kind Regards, G24 - EU & International Law

Sehr geehrteAntragsteller/in die Verordnung 1049/2001, Artikel 4 (6) schreibt vor folgendes vor: "Wenn nur Teile des angeforderten Dokuments einer der Ausnahmen unterliegen, werden die übrigen Teile des Dokuments freigegeben." Ich möchte Sie bitten zu prüfen, ob zumindest weniger kritische Teile freigegeben werden können, indem sie geschwärzt werden. Insbesondere hat der Spiegel ja schon relativ ausführlich aus dem Dokument zitiert. Teile, die die Zusammenarbeit Europols mit seinen Partnern beeinträchtigen, können auch geschwärzt werden. Sollten Sie zur Ansicht gelangen, dass Sie das Dokument dennoch nicht teilweise freigeben können, so bitte ich Sie, mir mitzuteilen, wie lange Sie das Dokument für schützenswert halten (Artikel 4 (7)). Bitte betrachten Sie dies als einen Zweitantrag. Haben Sie vielen Dank für ihre Mühe. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Antragsteller/in Antragsteller/in Anfragenr: 170303 Antwort an: <<E-Mail-Adresse>> Laden Sie große Dateien zu dieser Anfrage hier hoch: https://fragdenstaat.de/a/170303 Postanschrift Antragsteller/in Antragsteller/in << Adresse entfernt >>

Dear Mr << Antragsteller:in >>, Thank you for your message. While processing your request, Europol had indeed also considered granting partial access to the document in question. However, for the same reasons as expressed in our reply of 13 December 2019, also a partial release is refused by Europol. With regards to your question in accordance with Article 4(6) of the Management Board Decision laying down the rules for applying Regulation 1049/2001 with regard to Europol documents, we are not in a position at this stage to provide an estimate on how long the exceptions under which the document is protected would be justified.
