Specific documents (tobacco lobbying)
Dear DG Health and Food Safety,
In response to my application for access to documents Ref GestDem No 2019/7290, we discussed a fair solution in accordance with Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 and agreed to narrow down the scope to the following:
-identification of the documents falling under your request;
-retrieval and establishment of a complete list of the documents identified.
This approach would allow me to submit follow-up requests for specific documents.
In February this year, you sent me (SANTE.DDG1.B.2/SLO/kms(2020)1089593) a list detailing the titles of the 178 identified documents, their date and the names of organisations, which sent or received the documents.
I would now like to submit a follow-up request for the following specific documents.
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting access to the following documents mentioned in your list:
Document 1: Implementation of the EU Track & Trace system for tobacco products and de facto Export Ban
2: Letter of the European Smoking Tobacco Association on Track & Trace System for Tobacco Products - Implementation Issues
5: Summary of PMI activities in preparation for TPD Article 15 and 16 implementation.
