Hello Amal — the 14-day window has now expired. We've prepared the Ombudsman complaint citing the missed deadline and the EU FRD Art. 5(4). You can review and authorise in the Documents tab.

Thanks — I'll read through this evening. Quick question: does filing the Ombudsman complaint affect the dwangsom that's running?
D
No — the dwangsom under Awb 4:17 runs independently of an Ombudsman complaint. They are separate procedural tracks.
