Dear Mr Hirst,

I would like to inform you that the Committee on Petitions has begun its examination of your petition. The Committee considers the petition to be admissable since the subjectmatter falls within the sphere of activities of the European Union.

The committee felt that the issues raised in your petition should be submitted, also, to the Committee in the European Parliament within whose terms of reference it falls and decided as a result to refer it to the Committee on Constitutional Affairs for information.

Please note that consideration of your petition by the European Parliament has been concluded and the file is now closed.

Yours sincerely,
Marcin Libicki
