Search giant Google has said it is "close" to resolving issues that have prevented it from passing a hard disk of data to German authorities.
The disk contains wi-fi data Google Street View cars gathered by mistake.
Pressure to make the data available has been increased by the German regional Information Commissioner that started the inquiry.
In a statement, Dr Johannes Caspar said he expected Google to "continue on the path of co-operation and transparency".
Google had until the early hours of 27 May to hand over the data to Dr Caspar from the Hamburg Information Commissioner's office.
