has said that it needed “additional time to provide (SERAP) with a more
comprehensive response.” Read More after cut
In a letter dated 15 October 2015 and signed by Ann May of the
Access to Information Team (World Bank), said that “In response to your
request under AI3982, we would like to inform you that we are still
considering your request and need additional time to provide you with a
more comprehensive response.”
The
letter reads in part
“In most cases, we will be able to respond within
twenty (20) working days from receipt of a request for information.
However, we may need additional time in special circumstances, for
example, if the request is complex or voluminous or if it requires
further review by or consultation with internal World Bank units,
external parties, the Access to Information Committee, or the World
Bank’s Board of Executive Directors.”
“We
regret any inconvenience that a delay may cause you and, if one does
occur, will aim to minimize it as much as possible. We will notify you
promptly of any updates to the status of your request. Thank you for
your interest in the World Bank.”
