REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION 

on the application in 2012 of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to 
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents 

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 
2012 and is based on statistical data which are summarised in the annex.  

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

In  83%  of  cases  at  the  intial  stage  the  requested  documents  were  disclosed.  At  the 
confirmatory stage, either full or partial access was granted in 43% of cases.

Registers and Internet Sites 

1.1. 

1.2. 

In  2012,  17.940  new  documents  were  added  to  the  register  of  Commission 
documents (see annex – table 1). 

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 
recorded  in  the  register.  In  2012,  the  Commission's  public  register  covered  the 
following  documents:  COM,  SEC,  C,  JOIN,  SWD  OJ,  and  PV  series.  No  sensitive 
documents  were  created  or  received  by  the  Commission  in  2012,  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 did 
not  meet  at  political  level  during  the  year  2012.  However,  the  three  institutions 
(European  Parliament,  Council  and  Commission)  held  regular  meetings  at 
administrative  level  with  a  view  to  share  experience,  develop  best  practices  and 
ensure a consistent application of the Regulation.

Analysis of Access Applications 

3.1. 

3.2. 

3.3. 

3.4. 

3.5. 

In  2012,  the  flow  of  access  requests  at  the  initial  stage  decreased  in  number  of 
applications (6014 in 2012 in comparison with 6447 in 2011). The number of replies 
based on Regulation 1049/2001 was 5274 in 2012 in comparison with 6055 in 2011. 

As  regards  the  confirmatory  stage,  the  number  of  the  applications  received 
significantly increased by almost 39 % (229 new confirmatory applications in 2012 
against  165  in  2011).  The  total  number  of  responses  to  confirmatory  applications 
corresponded  to  the  number  of  applications  received  (202  cases  closed  in  2012  in 
comparison  with  162  in  2011).  Among  those,  160  replies  (79  %)  have  been 
confirmatory decisions on access to documents under Regulation 1049/2001. Their 
number  increased  in  2012  by  11%  in  comparison  with  2011  where  144  such 
decisions were issued. (See annex – table 5) 

In 2012, the Commission Secretariat General and Directorate-General for Health and 
Consumers  received  the  highest  number  of  initial  requests  (12.10%  and  7.28% 
respectively), very closely followed by the Directorate-General for Competition with 
6.81% of initial applications and the Directorate-General Enviroment with 6.61%. It 
is worth noting that the interest in obtaining documents from Directorate-General for 
Taxation and Customs Union (which ranked first in 2011) has decreased, whereas the 
demand  for  documents  and  files  held  by  the  Directorate-General  for  Competiton 
remained at a high level.  

The academic world proved once again to be the most active category of applicants, 
accounting for 22.70% of initial applications (as opposed to 25.73% in 2011). Like in 
the previous years, it was followed by law firms with 13.58% (as opposed to 11.30% 
in  2011)  and  civil  society  (NGO's,  interest  groups)  with  10.32%  (as  opposed  to 
8.59% in 2011) of the total number of applications. For 33,83% of the applications, 
the socio-professional profile of the applicants is undefined. (See annex – table 8) 

The geographical breakdown of initial applications also shows great similarities with 
previous  years,  with  a  slight  increase  with  regard  to  the  ever  largest  proportion  of 
applications  coming  from  Belgium  (21.85%).  As  opposed  to  2011,  there  was  a 
significant  decrease  in  applications  from  Italy  (12.37%  in  2011  to  7.54%  in  2012). 
With the exception of Germany (14.04%) and the United Kingdom (10.17%) none of 
the Member States, exceeded 10% of applications, the largest numbers coming from 
highly-populated  Member  States  such  as:  France,  Spain  and  Poland.  The  shares  of 
applications  from  EU-10  and  EU-2  Member  States  are  still  slightly  below  the 
corresponding share originating from EU-15 Member States. ( See annex – table 9).

Application of Exceptions to the Right of Access 

4.1. 

4.2. 

4.3. 

4.4. 

4.5. 

In  2012,  the  proportion  of  applications  that  were  fully  refused  in  the  first  instance 
slightly increased as opposed to the previous year (16.91% in 2012 against 12.18% in 
2011).  Full  disclosure,  has  been  given  in  almost  three  out  of  every  four  cases 
(74.48%  against  80.20%  in  2011)  whereas  the  percentage  of  partially  disclosed 
documents slightly increased in comparison to the previous years to reach 8.61 % (in 
comparison with 7.62 % in 2011). (See annex – table 3) 

The number of cases where, following a confirmatory application, the Commission 
reversed  the  position  taken  by  its  services  by  fully  disclosing  previously  refused 
documents,  slightly  increased  (18.75%  against  14.58%  in  2011).  In  addtion,  there 
was  a  increase  in  cases  where  a  refusal  was  fully  confirmed  and  a  significant 
decrease  in  the  number  of  cases  where  wider  access  was  granted  following  a 
confirmatory application. (See annex – table 6) 

The percentage of cases where the protection of the Commission's decision-making 
process  (Article  4(3))  was  invoked  as  ground  for  refusal  slightly  diminished  in 
comparison with the previous year (25.15% against 25.73% in 2011). It nevertheless 
comes  second  on  the  list  of  most  frequently  invoked  exceptions,  just  behind  the 
exception aimed at protecting of the purpose of inspections, investigations and audits 
(third indent of Article 4(2)), which accounted for 25.32% of cases (against 21.90 in 
2011). (See annex – table 7) 

The  refusal  rate  based  on  the  protection  of  commercial  interests  remained  fairly 
stable  (16.94%  against  16.83%  in  2011).  On  the  orther  hand,  the  number  of  cases 
where  the  protection  of  international  relations  was  invoked  decreased  significantly 
(3.58% against 12.02% in 2011). (See annex – table 7) 

The most frequently invoked ground for confirming a refusal of access was, as in the 
previous years, the protection of the purpose of investigations (third indent of Article 
4(2)), (45,10% compared with 32.68% in 2011). (See annex – table 7) 

– 

– 

The protection of  the  Commission's decision-making process, was invoked in 
15.69%  of  cases  (which  evidences  a  decrease  as  opposed  to  2011).  The  said 
tendency concerns however only the cases where the decision-making process 
was on-going (6.54% against 15.33% in the previous year). It has to be noted 
that there was an increase of cases concerning opinions for internal use, where 
the decision had already been taken (9.15 % in comparison with 4% in 2011).  

A decrease is to be noted as regards the protection of privacy and integrity of 
individuals (10.46% against 20.67% in 2011). On the other hand, the protection 
of  commercial  interests  was  invoked  almost  as  frequently  as  in  the  previous 
year (11.76% compared with 14.66% in 2011). As regards the exception based 
on  the  protection  of  court  proceedings  and  legal  advice,  there  was  a  very 
significant increase from 1.33% in 2011 to 7.84% in 2012.

Judicial Review 

As in previous years, signifiant new case law was delivered in 20123. 

6.1. 

The  Court  of  Justice  handed  down  three  important  judgments  on  appeal  in  the 
Agrofert4and Editions Odile Jacob5 cases as well as in the IFAW6 case. The first two 
judgments  concern  competition  policy  whereas  in  the  latter  the  Court  gave  an 
interpretation of the assessment of objections raised by Member State to disclosure 
of documents originating from them. 

The Court of Justice issued two orders rejecting the application in cases C-208/11P 
(unfounded)  and  C-554/11P  (inadmissible),  both  brought  by  Internationaler 
Hilfsfonds against the Commission.  

6.2. 

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

Conclusions 

After  nine  years  of  a  steady  increase,  from  500  to  around  6.500,  the  number  of 
access requests remained stable in 2010 and 2011 and has now come down to 6.000. 
The  Commission  remains  by  far  the  institution  handling  the  largest  number  of 
requests for access to documents.  

On  the  other  hand,  the  number  of  confirmatory  applications  has  increased. 
Applicants are better aware of their legal rights to appeal the initial decision taken 
by the Commission. 

All  this  could  suggest  that  the  Commission  has  reached,  via  various  means  and 
forums,  including  access  to  documents,  a  stable  and  well-known  transparency 
framework . 

Buidling on what was already achieved in 2011, active transparency with regard to 
the  legislative  activity  of  the  Commission  was  further  enhanced  in  2012.  As  a 
consequence,  a  significant  amount  of  initial  requests  for  access  and  almost  all 
confirmatory  applications  concern  the  Commission's  activities  in  the  field  of 
monitoring the application of EU law, including in particular the implementation of 
competition policy. When handling such requests, the Commission has to strike the 
right balance between ensuring the transparency of its activities and preserving its 
ability to properly carry out the tasks conferred upon it by the Treaties.
