Dear Agriculture and Rural Development,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Agriculture and Rural Development's handling of my FOI request 'Meeting between Commissioner Phil Hogan and Copa-Cogeca'.

According to your reply on 30th March 2015, as the meeting was mainly a courtesy visit for COPA-COGECA representatives to meet the Commissioner, no minutes or list of participants have been recorded.

I would like to ask for an internal review of this
claim.

There is no basis in the EU's access for documents rules to distinguish between "formal documents" and other documents. The definition of a “document” (in Article 3 of Regulation 1049/2001) is that “’Document’ shall mean any content whatever its medium (written on paper or stored in electronic form or as a sound,
visual or audiovisual recording) concerning a matter relating to the policies, activities and decisions falling within the institution’s sphere of responsibility”.

It is very hard to imagine that DG Agriculture and Rural Development has no minutes and reports at all of its meetings with industry. I would therefore like to repeat my request for the release of these documents, whether they are considered formal or not.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: http://www.asktheeu.org/en/request/meeti...

Yours faithfully,

Lora Verheecke
