Glyphosate - to Trade

The request was successful.

Dear 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:

1. From DG Trade (Commissioner, cabinet and staff), any documents between January 2016 and now, including briefings, reports, correspondence (email or other), where the active substance glyphosate is concerned or mentioned. (Including to and from national governments and administrations; industry; farmers' unions; chambers of commerce; the US Mission to the EU; the Delegation of the European Union in Washington; the delegation of the European Union to the WTO in Geneva, etc.)

2. From DG Trade (Commissioner, cabinet and staff), a list of meetings, as well as agendas and minutes or any other reports of such meetings, also between January 2016 and now, where the active substance glyphosate is concerned or mentioned. (Including with national governments and administrations; industry; farmers' unions; chambers of commerce; the US Mission to the EU; the Delegation of the European Union in Washington; the delegation of the European Union to the WTO in Geneva, etc.)

Documents excluded from our request are those that originate or are sent to supporting organisations to the European Citizens' initiative 'Stop Glyphosate' (see https://stopglyphosate.org/ ) and participants to mass petitions.

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.

Yours faithfully,

Nina Holland

Dear Ms Holland,

 

We refer to your request for access to documents, registered on 02/06/2017

Your application is 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 application within the time limit of 15

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

public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 17/07/2017.
