Dear President Barroso,
Further to your answer E-000018/2013 [1] we have asked the President of the European Parliament for the document that, according to your spokesperson [2], is the reason why you finally decided to withdraw your ACTA referral.
To our surprise, the European Parliament's Public Access to documents Unit denies that you have sent the document [3].
For a citizen this in inexplicable, which is why we would like to ask the following to understand how your treaty obligation to inform the European Parliament [4] works in practice:
1) Do you register all documents that you send to the European Parliament? 2) Does that registration include to whom in the European Parliament you are sending a document? 3) Did you register the document we are asking for? 4) Did that registration include to whom in the European Parliament you sent that document? 5) Can you send us the document? and finally 6) Would you consider a telephone call (mobile or fixed line) a way of informing the European Parliament within the meaning of your treaty obligation mentioned above?
Thank you very much in advance for sending us the document and for helping us understand why the European Parliament's Public Access to documents Unit says it has not received it.
With best regards, Linus Nordberg DFRI - Föreningen för digitala fri- och rättigheter https://dfri.se/index.en
