Glyphosate to ECHA
Dear European Chemicals Agency,
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:
1. Any documents since 01 March 2016, including briefings, reports, correspondence (email or other), where the active substance glyphosate is concerned or mentioned, between officials/representatives/experts of ECHA and officials/representatives of:
- Monsanto or any other company producing glyphosate
- Glyphosate Task Force
- Hume Brophy or any other firm representing industry with an interest in glyphosate
- European Crop Protection Association (ECPA)
- representatives of the US administration including agencies such as the EPA and the FDA
- representatives of the German government
- the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment BfR
2. A list of meetings, as well as agendas and minutes any other reports of such meetings, since 01 March 2016, where the active substance glyphosate is concerned or mentioned, between officials/representatives/experts of ECHA and officials/representatives of the entities mentioned in the list under 1.
We are not asking for the submissions to the CLH public consultation on glyphosate.
I kindly urge you to not apply a rigid interpretation of the clause on commercial secrets. Should this request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the regulation.
I look forward to a positive consideration of this request.
