Dear Mr/Ms Lea Pfau , Thank you for providing your ID.

Dear Mr/Ms Lea Pfau , Thank you for your suggestion to split your application into three individual applications to be considered consecutively with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 being applicable to each individual application. We understand that your propose the following order Application 1: Correspondence and the list of meetings Application 2: Reports Application 3: Operational Plans In order to be able to register your first application, please provide further specifics as the current scope does not enable the identification of the documents: - All correspondence – including all attachments – regarding, mentioning or discussing the Danish patrol incident, and/or Frontex’s role in this incident; - All reports, evaluations, studies and analysis of any kind conducted by Frontex regarding or in response to the Danish patrol boat incident, and/or Frontex’s role in this incident; Yours sincerely,

Dear Frontex, yes, the order you mentioned is correct. I am unsure how to help you with identifying the documents I am looking for. Are you aware of the incident with the Danish patrol boat that I am referring to? Which "further specifics" do you need in order to identify the documents? Best regards

Dear Mr/Ms Lea Pfau , Thank you for your reply. The references to "all documents" are too wide and vague to enable the identification of the documents. It would thus be helpful, if you could narrow down the time-frame of the documents, their type and/or other characteristics to facilitate their identification. Yours sincerely,

Dear Frontex, thank you for your message. In regards to your request for clarification of 26 August 2020, please note that in absence of a proper public register of Frontex documents in line with Article 11 of Regulation 1049/2001, it is essentially impossible for requesters to identify with a reasonable degree of precision which documents fall under the scope of any request. To this extent, I’d like to remind Frontex that the very purpose of a public register of documents is, as stated in the aforementioned article, to make “citizens' rights under this Regulation effective”. In this regard, Frontex must understand that I am only able to provide a timeframe for the documents falling under the scope of my request, as well as some examples of the documents I am interested in. I will note, however, that Frontex should be familiar by now with the concepts “correspondence” and “reports”. In regards to a timeframe, both for the requested correspondence and reports, I am interested in all documents produced or received by Frontex from 2 March 2020 to 6 July 2020, both included. In regards to further specifications as required by Frontex, I am interested in: - all correspondence - including but not limited to - e-mails, memos, letters, phone logs and messages of any kind exchanged among Frontex staff and/or Frontex staff with third parties regarding the Danish patrol boat incident. This includes all attachments to any of the aforementioned type of correspondence. - all reports, studies, analysis or evaluations - including but not limited to – accounts and/or assessments of events regarding the Danish patrol boat incident, any analysis of the incident, briefings regarding the incident, and/or any substantial account or analysis regarding the incident. Thank you in advance. Lea Pfau

Dear Mr/Ms Lea Pfau , Kindly provide further specifics regarding the date of the incident. - all correspondence - including but not limited to - e-mails, memos, letters, phone logs and messages of any kind exchanged among Frontex staff and/or Frontex staff with third parties regarding the Danish patrol boat incident. This includes all attachments to any of the aforementioned type of correspondence. - all reports, studies, analysis or evaluations - including but not limited to – accounts and/or assessments of events regarding the Danish patrol boat incident, any analysis of the incident, briefings regarding the incident, and/or any substantial account or analysis regarding the incident. In regard to your scope and the wide timespan, kindly note that the reference to Is still too wide to conduct a search. Kindly also provide search criteria to permit such search. Yours sincerely,

Dear Frontex, Please note that my initial request was filed on 10 July 2020. The fact that it is taking Frontex almost three months to register a request is completely unacceptable. The subject of the present request (the Danish patrol boat incident) is well known to Frontex; the documents my request covers are well known to Frontex as well, since it routinely deals with similar scoped and phrased requests. Frontex must therefore register and start processing my request immediately, and stop delaying the process by asking for pointless clarifications. To this regard, in terms of the date of the incident, please note that this information is – unfortunately – not in the public domain, and I am therefore unable to provide it. However, given that the incident was covered by EU (https://www.politico.eu/article/danish-frontex-boat-refused-order-to-push-back-rescued-migrants-report/) and Danish (https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/saadan-foregaar-bevogtningen-af-eus-yderste-graenser-dansk-patruljebaad-beordret-til) media, and that Frontex Executive Director Fabrice Leggeri has addressed this incident before the LIBE Committee (on 6 July 2020), I am absolutely certain that Frontex itself is able to identify the relevant date without my help. In terms of the scope, I will agree to limit “correspondence” to e-mails, letters, memos and phone logs, including all attachments. I will also limit the next point to: reports, evaluations and briefings. Finally, in terms of the search criteria, I believe my initial request – and subsequent clarifications – were clear enough. I am interested in documents (as per my initial request and further clarifications) mentioning or regarding the Danish patrol boat incident. It is not my role to explain Frontex how to conduct searches, especially since I am obviously not familiar with Frontex’s register of documents and archival systems. I would also like to point out that the lack of publicly available information around the Danish incident further makes Frontex’s request impossible. However, as I have stated before, the fact that Frontex routinely deals with similar phrased requests leads me to believe Frontex will be able to find, without my help, the relevant search terms to conduct documents searches in its own system. Thank you in advance. Lea Pfau
