The time limit will expire on 31 July 2019. In case this time limit needs to be extended, you will be informed in due course. You have lodged your application via the Fragdenstaat.de website. Please note that this is 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 Fragdenstaat.de website is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data via that website, and not the European Commission. For further information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s privacy policy. We understand that the third party running that website usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the European Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may have communicated to the European 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 Fragdenstaat.de website. If you do not wish your correspondence with the European Commission to be published on the Fragdenstaat.de website, you can provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further correspondence. In that case, the European Commission will send all future electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address.

Dear Sir, We refer to your e-mail dated 09/07/2019 in which you make a request for access to documents, registered on 10/07/2019 under the above mentioned reference number. We also refer to our clarification request, sent on 16/07/2019, in which we asked you to please specify the timeframe for your request. We take note of the fact that you already kindly replied on 16/07/2019 to a similar request for clarifications concerning your access to documents request (about interactions with Facebook) registered under the reference number Gestdem No 2019/3975 and included the timeframe indication “from November 2014 up to the present” in subsequent communications. In light of these elements, we understand that you probably are interested in documents referring to the same time period also for what concerns this request for access to documents, which refers to interactions with Google. However, it is for us necessary to receive an explicit reply from you on whether our understanding is correct and therefore also this request has to be understood as referring to the time period from November 2014 to the present.
