Dear Mr White,

SUBJECT: Freedom of Information Request

Thank you for your correspondence of February 4, 2010, in which you
asked for documents relating to infraction 64/08/INSO under the Freedom
of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

You will receive a response from us by March 4, 2010. Your request has
been passed to the appropriate business unit within the MoJ, and they
will write to you with their decision by this date.

The FOIA does provide a number of exemptions. A qualified exemption
requires that before relying on it we must consider the public interest
test. If the information you have requested is covered by a qualified
exemption(s) under FOIA, the Department is allowed to take longer than
20 working days to respond. This is because in such circumstances we are
required to consider the public interest issues when deciding whether or
not to disclose the information requested.

If more time is needed to consider the public interest issues under a
qualified exemption(s), we will write to you and inform you of the
revised date you can expect to receive a response to your request.

If you have any queries regarding this request please do not hesitate to
contact us. Please quote ref: FOI/63367/10 in all future correspondence.

Yours sincerely,

Hannah Law

See that last annex. What is an "MC" which the person from the Ministry Of Justice is trying to get help with answers for?

An MC??

Dear Patel, Roshnee,

the interpretation i wish you to follow on this request is your 2nd
possible interpretation of my request

2) All information in relation to responses to the European
Infraction case, in September 2008, June 2009 and December 2009.
This appears to be much narrower, more specific although
indications suggest it may still engage with the cost limit. Within
this interpretation, such information would include the draft and
final responses sent to the European Commission and information
exchange between MoJ and other Government departments in relation
to these responses.

thankyou for your assistance

Yours sincerely,

Peter White
