Glyphosate

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs,

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

On the topic of glyphosate, all correspondence (including emails),
the list of meetings with detailed minutes and any other reports of
such meetings between DG GROWTH’s officials (including the
Commissioner and her Cabinet members) and representatives of the
following actors:

-Glyphosate Task Force
-European Crop Care Association (ECCA)
-European Crop Protection Association (ECPA)
-Monsanto
-Hume Brophy
-CropLife America
-American Chamber of Commerce to the European Union (AmCham EU)
-US Mission to the EU
-USA Government or US goverment bodies or representatives

Or any organisation or consultancy firm representing any of these
actors

between 15 August 2015 and now.

Should my request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the
denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the
regulation. Also I expect the partial release of documents, in case
of partial exemption according to article 4.6.

Do not hesitate to get back to me should you need any further
information which could facilitate your research.

Yours faithfully,

Nina Holland
