Communication on EU-MERCOSUR

Die Anfrage war erfolgreich.

Dear DG Trade,

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:

- Any study, impact assessment, forecast, paper or other document - commissioned or authored by any part of the European Commission, or received from (or representatives from) EuropaBio, Monsanto, Bayer Crop Science, Syngenta, Dow Chemical, DuPont, BASF, Glencore, COPA COGECA or Cargill concerning or mentioning negotiations for a EU-Mercosur Free Trade Agreement between June 2015 and October 2017.

- a list of meetings including detailed minutes and any other reports of such meetings between DG TRADE's officials (including the Commissioner and his Cabinet members) and (or representatives from) EuropaBio, Monsanto, Bayer Crop Science, Syngenta, Dow Chemical, DuPont, BASF, Glencore, COPA COGECA or Cargill concerning or mentioning negotiations for a EU-Mercosur Free Trade Agreement between June 2015 and October 2017.

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. My postal adress has been forwarded to you.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,
Hans Wetzels

Dear Mr Wetzels,

 

We refer to your requests for access to documents, registered on
13/11/2017 under the reference numbers GestDem 2017/6808 and 2017/6810.

 

Your applications are currently being handled. However, due to the heavy
workload on a large number of requests, we will not be in a position to
complete the handling of your applications within the time limit of 15
working days, which expires today.

 

Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days in

public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 03/01/2018.

 

We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.

 

Yours faithfully,
