Dear Permanent Representation of France to the EU,

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:

-How many meetings have employees of the Permanent Representation of France to the EU had in the context of or relating to the topic of New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) with representatives of companies, lobby or advocacy groups, academic, research, and scientific institutes, consultancies, and any other kind of organisations and stakeholders, from January 2022 until today?

I would like to request a list of these meetings: who was present at the meeting, including the names of organisations/lobbyists present, as well as the date of the meeting, the subject matter discussed, and the minutes of the meetings.

If possible, I prefer you produce the documents on a rolling basis.

At no point should the Permanent Representation's search for (or deliberations concerning) certain documents delay the production of others that the Permanent Representation has already retrieved and chosen to produce. I also prefer to receive documents electronically.

If some documents are partially exempted from publication, I wish to have access to a partial release of said documents. Should my request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the regulation.

Please contact me if any point of this request needs to be clarified,

Thank you for your help,

Yours sincerely,

Jelena Prtoric

Dear Permanent Representation of France to the EU,

Please pass this on to the person who reviews confirmatory applications.

I am filing the following confirmatory application with regards to my access to documents request 'Request for lobby documents & meetings'.

On August 5 I made my first request, asking for the documents which contain the following information:

-How many meetings have employees of the Permanent Representation of France to the EU had in the context of or relating to the topic of New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) with representatives of companies, lobby or advocacy groups, academic, research, and scientific institutes, consultancies, and any other kind of organisations and stakeholders, from January 2022 until today?

I requested a list of these meetings: who was present at the meeting, including the names of organisations/lobbyists present, as well as the date of the meeting, the subject matter discussed, and the minutes of the meetings. I also specified that I preferred you'd produce the documents on a rolling basis. I also emphasised that the Permanent Representation's search for (or deliberations concerning) certain documents should have not delayed the production of others that the Permanent Representation has already retrieved and chosen to produce.

I followed up on my initial request on 3 September 2024, and received no response.

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

I am aware of the fact that the post-election transition period might have resulted in staff changes and therefore delays, but I would appreciate receiving the requested information/documents as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,

Jelena Prtoric
