Dear [geschwärzt],
Europol has assessed your request and has identified one document falling in its scope:
1. EDOC#984647;
We are pleased to inform you that partial access to the document has been granted, herewith attached. Redactions have been made to a minor extent (indicated throughout the text in black shapes ‘[…]’) by redacting information on the technical details of the system, its functionalities, specification and requirements, Europol environments and Europol operating procedures as well as details of commercial products of legal persons. These redactions are grounded on Articles 4(1)(a), first indent, and 4(2), first indent, of the Management Board Decision laying down the rules for applying Regulation 1049/2001 with regard to Europol documents (the MB Decision on Public Access). The disclosure of such sensitive information would undermine the protection of the public interest as regards the public security, such as the proper fulfilment of Europol’s tasks pursuant to Article 4(1)(a), first indent, of the MB Decision on Public Access, as well as the protection of the commercial interests of a natural or legal person, including intellectual property pursuant to Article 4(2), first indent, of the aforementioned Decision. The release of such sensitive information, details of operational systems and operating procedures, to the public could have a negative impact on the internal work processes at Europol, Europol’s cyber resilience and related response actions, as well as on the trust and mutual cooperation between Europol and its partners, which is essential to Europol’s activities, consequently preventing Europol from fulfilling its tasks. Further, the release of these parts of the document to the public could jeopardize the commercial activities of the companies/entities, therein mentioned, consequently hindering their ability to effectively perform their business functioning. Europol has identified no overriding public interest in the disclosure of these parts of the document.
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 MB Decision on Public Access.
Kind Regards,
G2-01 Corporate Law
