Re: Your application for public access to documents of 9 May 2021
Our ref: - PAD 2021/061
Dear Dr Clausing,
I refer to your application for access to documents submitted on 9 May 2021 by means of which you
asked for:
- the information “
how many combined exposure assessments of pesticides based on the EFSA
Guidance on risk assessment of combined exposure to multiple chemicals (cf. EFSA Journal
2019;17(3)5634) have actually been performed?” and
-
“documents containing these assessments or provide a link where I can download these”.
Please rest assured that your application is being processed as quickly as possible in accordance with
the provisions o
f Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 on public access to documents (hereinafter “
the PAD
Regulation”).
We proposed to handle your PAD application in successive stages allowing for a detailed assessment
on the accessibility of each of the documents falling within the scope of your application and we
targeted as next deadline to reply to you 16 July 2021.
However, in view of the large number of documents EFSA is processing under the PAD Regulation and
the holidays period implying a reduction of staff, with a view to reconciling your interests with those
of good administration, we would like to engage with you as concerns the processing of your PAD
application. In this respect, in accordance with Article 6(3) of the PAD Regulation, as implemented by
Articles 4(7) and 4(8) o
f Decision of the Management Board laying down practical arrangements for
implementing Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 and Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1367/2006,
we would like to confer with you with a view to finding a fair solution to provide you with a reply on
the accessibility of a second and final batch of the requested documents by
16 August 2021 at the
latest.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused by this delay.
Should you require any information or clarification regarding the processing of your request in the
meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us by writing to the following functional mailbox:
