Dear Mr X,
On 9 March 2021, you submitted a complaint to the European Ombudsman against the European Commission for the lack of reply to the correspondence you sent on 16 February 2021, requesting the Commission to take a position on your infringement complaint against Spain registered under reference CHAP(2018)2317.
We informed the Commission of your complaint and asked it to reply. The Commission has informed us that it replied on 28 April 2021. Therefore, we have decided to close the investigation considering that it has been resolved.
Please note that this investigation concerns only the Commission’s failure to reply to your correspondence. If you are not satisfied with the content of the reply, the Commission invited you to provide new information within four weeks of receipt of the reply. If, following your comments, the Commission confirms its intention to close the complaint and you are still not satisfied with the reply received, you can then lodge a new complaint with the Ombudsman. There is no need to resubmit documents that are already included in your file. A reference to this complaint number will suffice.
Yours sincerely,
Tina Nilsson
Head of Case Management Unit
Strasbourg, 26/05/2021
