Mineral oil hydrocarbons in foods and materials and articles intended to come into contact with foods
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:
As regards the process of implementing recommendation 2017/84, we request copies of letters, minutes of meetings and other relevant documents concerning how the Commission has advanced this process to ensure that Member States and other relevant actors have contributed to the study.
In particular we request documents that can assist in answering the following questions:
1. When and how did the COM (since January 2017) reach out to the MS regarding their contribution to the monitoring process?
2. What support has been offered by the COM to which MS (e.g. financial support and/or training of laboratory staff to set up investigation methods according to the JRC guidelines)
3. What difficulties have been encountered with the Monitoring Programme?
4. What measures and when has the COM taken to overcome these difficulties?
5. What is the COM's timetable for completing the monitoring programme?
6. Has the COM taken any action under Article 7 of Regulation 178/2002 on the basis of all the results of the monitoring programme now available to it? If so, which exactly? If not, why not?
Yours faithfully,
Suzy Sumner

Dear Ms Sumner,
Thank you for your e-mail of 15 July 2020. We hereby acknowledge receipt
of your application for access to documents, which was registered on the
same date under reference number GESTDEM 2020/4321.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days. The time limit will expire on 06
August 2020. In case this time limit needs to be extended, you will be
informed in due course.
You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which
has no link with any institution of the European Union. Therefore, the
European Commission cannot be held accountable for any technical issues or
problems linked to the use of this system.
Please note that the private third party running the Ask the Eu website is
responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data via
that website, and not the Commission. For further information on your
rights, please refer to the third party’s privacy policy.
We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website
usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the
Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may
have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).
Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the
Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by
the AsktheEU.org website.
If you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is
published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can
provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further
correspondence. In that case, the Commission will send all future
electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address,
and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You
should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website
about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply
from, the Commission.
