Dear AGRI ACCESS DOCUMENTS,
In your email of 8 June 2023, you noted that you would not be in a position to complete the handling of my request 2023/2415 within the time limit of 15 additional working days, which expired on 09/06/2023, and that an extended time limit was needed once again as the majority of the identified documents were consulted with the third parties, and you hadn’t yet received all responses.
However, I would like to note that there is no provision in the law for this further extension of the time limit: 15+15 working days is the maximium legal time period in which to handle access to documents requests.
You also noted that you expected to receive the necessary feedback in few days, after which you would send me the reply. However, it is now 20 June and I haven't received your reply.
In light of this, I must politely request that you send me the documents with all possible haste, as I should, by law, have already received them.
If you are still unable to send me these documents, I would kindly ask for an explanation of underwhat legal provision this delay is justified.
Yours sincerely,
Elaine Girvan

Dear [email address],
Thank you for your response to my request 2023/2415.
Yours sincerely,

Dear [email address],
Further to your response my request 2023/2415, I have discovered that several of the pdf documents you released are not able to be opened. Most of them are fine, but ten of the files - which I have tried opening on various software/hardware - come up with the same error message that the file cannot be opened. I would therefore like to draw your attention to the following documents:
8.3 Annex 8.3 1533_001- background adm
8.4 Annex 8.4 2021.11.30 Participation HoC to the AmCham EU_s Agriculture and Food Committee meeting - briefing
9.3 Annex 9.3 20190913_EU-US factsheet
13 Ares(2021)3542541 13 Briefing for the MEETING between Commissioner Wojicechowski and FoodDrinkEurope
14 Ares(2021)5191123 14 Briefing for the meeting between Commissioner Wojciechowski and the COPA COGECA President in the margins of the UN Food Systems Pre-Summit in the FAO headquarters on 26 07 2021 - 27 07 2021.
15.3 Annex 15.3 annex of 15.1 CC(21)8218EN[1]
20 Ares(2022)3903734 20 Briefing 503 Request for a meeting to discuss the revision of the Promotion Policy with EU associations representing the agri-food sector
22.4 Annex 22.4 ANNEX ATF-P4F_draft_policy_brief.pdf April 2020 Exploring synergies between livestock and crop sectors
23.6 Annex 23.6 update 250320milk and dairy supply is vital in COVID19 time
27.2 Annex 27.2 Basis 1548_Meeting with ATF_FINA
Please could you check and ensure that the pdf versions of these documents can be opened, and then re-send them to me?
In addition, one of the documents identified as being released seems to be missing, namely:
15.1 Cover letter 15.1 email The agri-food sector’s concerns over the 2022 Annual Work Programme of the EU Promotion Policy and the need to take these into account in the revision of the Promotion Policy.
I would be grateful if you could send this missing document at the same time.
Yours sincerely,
Elaine Girvan
