DG ENTR contacts with biotech industry

The request was successful.

Dear Enterprise and Industry (ENTR),

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

- a list of meetings of DG Enterprise and Industry officials and/or representatives (including the Commissioner and the Cabinet) and representatives of the following companies and industry associations: Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer, Basf, Dow, Dupont/Pioneer, EuropaBio, Bussiness Europe, European Crop Protection Association (ECPA), AmCham EU, the US Chamber of Commerce and the European Seed Association (ESA) between January 2012 and today.

- minutes and other reports of these meetings;

- all correspondence (including emails) between DG Enterprise and Industry officials
and/or representatives (including the Commissioner and the Cabinet)and representatives of companies and industry associations Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer, Basf, Dow, Dupont/Pioneer, EuropaBio, Bussiness Europe, European Crop Protection Association (ECPA), AmCham EU, the US Chamber of Commerce and the European Seed Association (ESA) related to genetically modified organisms and biotechnology between January 2012 and today.

- all correspondence (including emails) between the Commissioner and the Cabinet and DG Enterprise and Industry related to genetically modified organisms and biotechnology between January 2012 and today.

Yours faithfully,

David Sánchez

Dear Annalisa La Rovere,

Thank you for your reply.

In the first and second bullet point of my request I am asking for a general list of meetings, minutes and other reports. It is only in the third and fourth bullet points, as they are much broader requests, that I have narrowed them to genetically modified organisms and biotechnology.

I can agree with your assumption and please do not include biotechnology used for medical purposes correspondance in my request.

Yours sincerely,

David Sánchez

Dear Mr Sanchez,
 
We refer to your e-mail dated 02/05/2013 in which you make a request for
access to documents, registered on 02/05/2013 under the above mentioned
reference number.
 
The description given in your application does not enable us to identify
concrete documents which would correspond to your request.
 
We therefore invite you, pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No
1049/2001 regarding public access to documents, to provide us with more
detailed information on the documents which you seek to obtain.
 
In particular, as regards the first and second bullet points (a list of
meetings, minutes and other reports of these meetings), by analogy to the
third and fourth bullet points and taking into account the general
objective of your request, we assume that the meetings' documents you are
seeking to obtain are only those related to genetically modified organisms
and biotechnology.
 
With regard to the term "biotechnology" we furthermore assume that it does
not relate to biotechnology used for medical purposes.
 
We would be grateful if you could  confirm that our assumptions are
correct and reflect the scope of your request.
 
If you need assistance in clarifying or specifying your application, you
can contact us by telephone to: (+32) (0) 22 958358.
