REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION 

on the application in 2011 of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to 
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents 

FOREWORD 

This report, drawn up pursuant to Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding 
public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents1, covers the year 
2011 and is based on statistical data which are summarised in the annex.  

These statistics reflect the number of applications and not of requested documents. In practice, 
applications  may  cover  a  single  document  or  entire  files  concerning  a  specific  procedure. 
Applications  for  access  to  documents  which  were  publicly  accessible  at  the  time  of  the 
request, are not included. 

1. 

Revision of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 

1.1. 

Two  different  proposals  for  the  revision  of  Regulation  1049/2001  tabled  by  the 
European  Commission  are  still  subject  to  interinstitutional  reflection.  The  first 
proposal  for  a  recast  of  the  Regulation,  submitted  by  the  Commission  on  30  April 
2008,  introduces  a  series  of  substantial  amendments,  clarifing  the  interpretation  of 
Regulation 1049/2001. The second proposal was submitted by the Commission on 21 
March 2011 with a view to adapt Regulation 1049/2001 to the formal requirements 
of the Treaty of Lisbon by extending the institutional scope of the Regulation to all 
the European Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, with some restrictions 
as  regards  the  European  Court  of  Justice,  the  European  Central  Bank  and  the 
European Investment Bank.  

1.2. 

The  European  Parliament  adopted  its  position  with  regard  to  both  proposals  in  the 
first  reading  on  15  December  2011  proposing  63  amendments.  The  Danish 
Presidency  of  the  Council  has  been  considering  various  options  for  taking  the 
legislative process forward with a view to reach an agreement between the European 
Parliament, the Council and the Commission.

In  2011,  19,956  new  documents  were  added  to  the  register  of  Commission 
documents (see table in annex). 

According to Article 17 (1) of Regulation 1049/2001 the Commission has to provide 
in its annual reports the number of documents in its possession which are “sensitive” 
in  the  meaning  of  Article  9(1)  of  the  Regulation2  and  have  therefore  not  been

third  countries  or  International  Organisations,  classified  as  "TRÈS  SECRET/TOP  SECRET",

recorded  in  the  register.  The  Commission's  public  register  covered  until  the  end  of 
2011 the documents of the COM, C, OJ, PV and SEC series. No sensitive documents 
were created or received by the Commission in 2011, that would fall within one of 
these categories of documents.

Cooperation with the other Institutions subject to the Regulation 

The inter-institutional committee set up pursuant to Art. 15(2) of the Regulation was 
not convened during 2011. The three institutions (European Parliament, Council and 
Commission) maintained regular contacts at the administrative level with a view to 
ensure a consistent application of the Regulation.

Analysis of Access Applications 

4.1. 

4.2. 

4.3. 

In  2011,  the  flow  of  access  requests  at  the  initial  stage  has  remained  fairly  stable 
with a very small increase in the number of applications (6447 in 2011 in comparison 
with  6361  in  2010)  and  even  smaller  decrease  in  a  number  of  replies  based  on 
Regulation 1049/2001 (6055 in 2011 in comparison with 6127 in 2010). 

As  regards  the  confirmatory  stage,  the  number  of  the  applications  received 
diminished by almost 9 % (165 new confirmatory applications in 2011 against 181 in 
2010).  The  total  number  of  responses  to  confirmatory  applications  closely 
corresponded  to  the  number  of  applications  received  (162  cases  closed  in  2011  in 
comparison  with  150  in  2010).  Among  those,  144  replies  (89  %)  have  been  the 
confirmatory decisions on access to documents under Regulation 1049/2001. Their 
number  increased  in  2011  by  18%  in  comparison  with  2010  where  122  such 
decisions have been issued. 

In  2011,  the  DG  for  Taxation  and  Customs  Union  received  the  highest  number  of 
initial requests (7.80%), very closely followed by the DG Competition with 6.99% of 
initial  applications,  and  the  DG  Health  and  Consumer  Protection,  with  6.96%.  It  is 
worth  noting  the  increase  of  the  interest  in  the  recently  reorganised  sectors  where 
four  new  Directorates-General  replaced  previously  existing  two:  Directorates-
General  Mobility  and  Transport  together  with  Energy  (former  DG  Transport  and 
Energy) as well as Directorates-General Environement together with Climate Action 
(former DG Environment). 

"SECRET"  or  "CONFIDENTIEL"  in  accordance  with  the  rules  of  the  institution  concerned,  which 
protect essential interests of the European Union or of one or more of its Member States in the areas 
covered by Article 4(1)(a), notably public security, defence and military matters" (Article 9(1)).

4.4. 

4.5. 

Although the external relations of the EU have become the competency of the newly 
organised European External Action Service, in 2011 this was not yet reflected in the 
statistics of the Commission, as its registers continued to cover the major part of the 
respective requests under Regulatipon 1049/2001. 

The academic world proved once again to be the most active category of applicants, 
accounting  for  25.73%  of  initial  applications.  As  in  the  previous  years  it  has  been 
followed  by  the  law  firms  with  11.30%  and  civil  society  (NGO's,  interest  groups) 
with 8.59% of the total number of applications. For 34.78 % of the applications, the 
socio-professional profile is undefined. 

The geographical breakdown of initial applications also remained similar to previous 
years  with  a  slight  increase  as  regards  the  ever  largest  proportion  of  applications 
coming from Belgium (21.42%). An almost equal number of application originated 
from Italy and from Germany (12.37% and 12.27% respectively). None of the other 
Member States, exceeded 10% of applications, the largest numbers coming from the 
highly-populated  Member  States,  i.e.  France,  Spain,  the  United  Kingdom,  the 
Netherlands  and  Poland.  The  shares  of  applications  from  the  12  "new"  Member 
States  are  still  slightly  below  the  corresponding  shares  originating  from  the  "old" 
Member States.

Application of Exceptions to the Right of Access 

5.1. 

5.2. 

5.3. 

5.4. 

5.5. 

In  2011,  the  proportion  of  applications  that  were  fully  refused  in  the  first  instance 
remained almost identical to the previous year (12.17% in 2011 against 12.47 % in 
2010). Full disclosure, has been given in four out of every five cases (80.20% against 
82.16%  in  2010)  whereas,  a  percentage  of  documents  disclosed  partially  slightly 
increased in comparison to the previous years to reach 7.63 % (in comparison with 
5.37 % in 2010).  

The  number  of  cases where, following a confirmatory application, the Commission 
reversed  the  position  taken  by  its  services  by  fully  disclosing  previously  refused 
documents, remained fairly stable (14.58% against 15.57% in 2010). However, there 
were less cases in which a refusal was fully confirmed and significantly more cases 
where wider access was granted following a confirmatory application.  

Although the protection of the Commission's decision-making process (Article 4(3)) 
accounted for a slightly diminished percentage of grounds of refusal in comparison 
with the previous year (25.73% against 26.42% in 2010), it comes first on the list of 
the most frequently invoked exceptions, overtaking the exception of the protection of 
the  purpose  of  inspections,  investigations  and  audits  (third  indent  of  Article  4(2)), 
which  dropped  last  year  by  almost  5  %  to reach 21.90%  of cases (against 26.63 in 
2010).  

The  increasing  tendency  is  to  be  noted  as  regards  the  protection  of  commercial 
interests  (16.83%  against  11.84%  in  2010)  and  the  protection  of  international 
relations (12.02% against 9.83% in 2010)  

The most frequently invoked ground for confirming a refusal of access was, as in the 
previous  years,  the  protection  of  the  purpose  of  investigations  (32.68%  compared 
with 32% in 2010).

– 

The  protection  of  the  Commission's  decision-making  process,  was  invoked  in 
19.33% of cases (exactly the same as in 2010) but this number is a cumulated result 
of an increase as regards the cases where the decision-making process was on-going 
(15.33%  against  11.33%  in  the  previous  year),  and  the  parallel  decrease  of  cases 
concerning opinions for internal use, where the decision had already been taken (4 % 
in comparison with 8% in 2010). 

– 

An  important increase  is  to  be noted  as regards the protection of privacy and 
integrity of individuals (20.67% against 9.33% in 2010). On the other hand, the 
protection of commercial interests was invoked slightly less frequently than in 
the previous years (14.10% compared with 16.67% in 2010), and the exception 
of  the  protection  of  court  proceedings  and  legal  advice  even  more  so  (1.33% 
against 10% in the previous year). 

6. 

Complaints to the European Ombudsman 

6.1. 

In  2011  the  Ombudsman  closed  the  following  17  complaints  against  the 
Commission's handling of requests for access to documents: 

1 case closed without a finding of any form of maladministration 

1735/2010/MHZ  

8 cases closed with a critical and/or a further remark

6.2. 

In the course of the year the Ombudsman opened 10 new inquiries where access to 
documents  was  either  the  main  or  a  subsidiary  part  of  the  complaint.  This  is 
considerably less than in 2010, when 22 investigations were opened. 

7. 

Judicial Review 

As in previous years, signifiant new case law was delivered in 2011 3. 

7.1. 

The  Court  of  Justice  handed  down  one  important  judgment  on  appeal  in  the  My 
Travel case4. The Court reinforced the burden of proof for invoking  the  exceptions 
aimed  at  protecting  the  decision-making  process  and  legal  advice  with  regard  to 
internal documents related to a non-legislative matter, where a decision has already 
been adopted.

As  for  the  General  Court,  it  has  handed  down  6  judgments  related  to  the  right  of 
access to document:

CDC 

v 
judgment 

In  the  Batchelor  and  IFAW  II  judgments,  the  Court  has  provided  important 
clarifications as regards the assessment of Member States' objections to disclosure of 
documents originating from them but held by the Commission.  

In Navigazione Libera del Golfo, the General Court has annulled the Commission's 
decision taken prior to the Sweden v Commisssion (IFAW I) judgment of the Court of 
Justice  and  in  which  the  objection  of  a  Member  State  was  invoked  without  further 
motivation for not disclosing a document originating from that Member State.  

In its judgment rendered in the Jordana case, the Court clarified that Article 4(1)(b) 
of  the  Regulation  is  an  indivisible  provision  requiring  that  any  undermining  of  the 
privacy  or  integrity  of  the  individual  must  always  be  examined  and  assessed  in 
conformity  with  the  EU  legislation  regarding  the  protection  of  personal  data,  in 
particular with Regulation 45/2001.  

In  the  LPN  case,  the  Court  confirmed  the  existence  of  a  general  presumption  that 
disclosure  of  documents  in  infringement  proceedings  in  principle  undermines  the 
protection of the purpose of investigation activities, as long as these proceedings are 
ongoing.  

Finally, in the CDC judgment, the Court ruled that the protection of the purpose of 
the investigations could not be invoked to refuse access to a list of documents. 

Three further cases have to be mentioned which have been removed from the register 
following the withdrawal by the applicant: 

T-88/11 BIA Separations

Conclusions 

After nine years of a continous increase, the number of access requests submitted to 
the Commisson has remained at the same level in 2010 and 2011. With almost 6500 
requests  per  year,  the  Commission  handled  by  far  the  largest  number  of  access 
requests of all institutions and bodies of the European Union. 

This stabilisation of the volume of requests is possibly an indication that the right of 
access  to  documents  has  reached  a  significant  level  of  public  recognition  among 
European citizens, civil society and economic operators. In the spirit of the Treaty of 
Lisbon,  such  awareness  paves  the  way  for  increased  public  debate  and  their  closer 
participation in shaping European policies. 

On the other hand, the need to make requests for access to documents diminishes as 
the  Commission  gradually  increased  pro-active  disclosure  of  documents  and 
information through public registers and websites. 

Active transparency has been largely achieved with regard to the legislative activity. 
A  significant  amount  of  access  requests  and  almost  all  confirmatory  applications 
concern the Commission's activities in the field of monitoring the application of EU 
law. These requests have to be handled in parallel with the investigations concerned. 
In  such  cases  the  Commission  has  to  strike  the  right  balance  between  ensuring 
transparency of its activities and protecting other rights which are guaranteed by law 
and by case law of the European Courts.
