Dear Mr/Ms [geschwärzt], Thank you for your interest in European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) activities. Please kindly note that your confirmatory application for: "Dear Frontex Transparency Office, Thank you for your reply. In response to your decision to refuse access to all requested documents, I would like to submit a confirmatory application. Access to documents in regard to indents 1, 3 and 4 was refused because they contain personal data, refer to details of the operational area, contain details on the means of communication used by law enforcement officials and contain information regarding technical equipment deployed in the operational area. On the assumption that this is not the only information contained in these documents, a partial release should be performed, in accordance with Article 4.6 of Regulation 1049/2001. You state, that a partial release of any of these documents is prevented because all these documents pertain to ongoing investigations. However, no reason is given in what way disclosure of a document or of certain redacted parts thereof would specifically and effectively undermine the protection of the purpose of an ongoing investigation. This should be explained for all documents, as stated by the Ombudsman in their comment for decision 1616/2016/MDC. There is also no reasonable explanation given on why this justifies not releasing the documents at all instead of releasing them partially. Access to documents in regard to indent 2 was refused, with the provided reason being that granting access to these documents would hamper the evaluation of the mission. Operational plans, including operational plans for Joint Operation Poseidon with all Annexes were released in the past in response to information requests. Examples for that can be found at https://eur02.safelinks.protection.ou... and https://eur02.safelinks.protection.ou... (PAD-2020-00084). Because of that, the explanation does not justify the refusal to release such documents. In addition to that, the documents provided in the examples are not “significantly reduced”. Kind regards, [geschwärzt]" is herewith registered. As it falls under the regime of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, we will now commence the processing of your application and will reply within 15 working days including.
