La solicitud fue parcialmente exitosa.

Dear International Cooperation and Development,

According to the answer given by Mr Mimica on behalf of the European Commission (25.6.2019) to Question for written answer P-002044-19 to the Commission - Rule 130 - Maria Heubuch (Verts/ALE): "The Commission has asked the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to provide detailed information on their due diligence, complaint and enquiry mechanisms, and proper documentation of responses to any suggestion of human rights’ violations in EU-funded projects".

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting the following documents:

1) A copy of any documentation that WWF has provided to the Commission with information on their due diligence, complaint and inquiry mechanisms, and any documentation of responses to any suggestion of human rights violations in EU-funded projects.

Yours faithfully,

Stephen Corry
