Dear Health and Food Safety,

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 correspondence (including emails), agendas, minutes of meetings and any other reports of such meetings between officials of DG SANTE and officials/representatives of (one or more of) the following DGs/organisations:
-Secretariat-General
-DG ENV
-EFSA
-ECPA
-CropLife
-Cefic
-ACC
-Monsanto
-Bayer
-BASF
-Dow Chemicals
-DuPont
-AmCham
-US Mission to the EU
-German government
-British government

where renewal of the approval of the active substance glyphosate was discussed (between October 2015 and March 2nd 2016).

When 'officials' are mentioned in this request this includes the Commissioners and their Cabinet members, as well as Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and his Cabinet.

Do not hesitate to get back to me should you need any further information which could facilitate your research.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,

Vincent Harmsen
