Communications on merger
Dear DG Competition,
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:
-all documents, correspondence (letters, emails, Whatsapp messages, text messages, etc), minutes of meetings or any other reports of such meetings where the merger between Bayer and Monsanto was discussed and/or referred to by officials of DG Competition;
-all correspondence (letters, emails, Whatsapp messages, text messages, etc) between officials of DG Competition and third parties (other DGs, SG, companies, organizations, etc) where the merger between Bayer and Monsanto was discussed and/or referred to.
The request entails all documents produced between September 2016 and June 2018.
'Officials' are to be interpreted in the broadest sense possible, meaning all civil servants including as well Commissioner Margrethe Vestager and her Cabinet members/staff.
Do not hesitate to get back to me should you need any further information which could facilitate your research.
Yours faithfully,
Vincent Harmsen
