- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.a: Upheld
The complainant made a number of requests for information to the Marine Management Organisation (“MMO”) about reviews of its systems by the European Commission (“EC”) including a request for the contact details of people it was dealing with at the EC. The MMO applied regulation 12(4)(a) (information not held). The Commissioner’s decision is that the MMO held information falling within the scope of the request and therefore regulation 12(4)(a) did not apply. The Commissioner requires the public authority issue a fresh response to the complainant under the EIR which does not rely on regulation 12(4)(a).
