Dear DG AGRI,

After stating that DG AGRI did not have the documents I had requested in an access to documents request (GestDem 2015/3884), I sent another request regarding minutes of meetings on 31-08-2015. I have not received confirmation of receipt, so I would like to know if you have received it?

You can find the correspondence here: http://www.asktheeu.org/en/request/meeti...
