Dear Council of the EU,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information: all documents that are relevant to the questionnaire of the Council of the EU with regard to it's questionnaire in note 12368/16. From that questionnaire:

"To prepare the follow-up in line with the Justice Ministers' discussion, the Presidency has prepared a questionnaire to map the situation and identify the obstacles faced by law enforcement authorities when gathering or securing encrypted e-evidence for the purposes of criminal proceedings. On the basis of the information be gathered from Member States' replies, the Presidency will prepare the discussion that will take place in the Friends of the Presidency Group on Cyber Issues and consequently in CATS in preparation for the JHA Council in December 2016."

That includes, but is not limited to, documents discussing the need of such a questionnaire, the actual input provided by the member states and the analysis of that input.

Yours faithfully,

Rejo Zenger, on behalf of Bits of Freedom.
