In regard to your point 1, constituting point 4 of your application PAD-2020-00250, Frontex could identify eight documents as part of this reconsideration, which are herewith attached. As opposed to 2015, Frontex availed itself of one company for the organization of the events in the years 2016 to 2019 making the redactions necessary for the remainder of the documents as the disclosure of the other pieces of information contained therein would undermine the protection of commercial interests of Frontex and other market actors, in particular information on working methods, know-how, internal organization, proposed and actual prices, budgetary considerations as well as negotiation positions. If released, these pieces of information would impede especially Frontex future ability to participate in the market. As no overriding public interest that is objective and general in nature and not indistinguishable from individual or private interests for the release of this document is ascertainable in the present case, these parts cannot be released pursuant to Article 4(2) first indent of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001. Based on these considerations, in regard to point 2, respectively point 6 of your application PAD-2020-00250, the information contained in these documents cannot be released. Furthermore, as they only contain fragmented information on “[t]he expense paid” your request for these pieces of information has been forwarded to the Media and Public Relations Office, which will reply to you in this regard. In accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, you are entitled to institute court proceedings and/or make a complaint to the European Ombudsman under the relevant provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
