Dear Agriculture and Rural Development,

Thank you for your reply. I think my request was specific enough. I am asking for all types of document (email, letters, minutes, date and attendees list of meetings) constituting bilateral or multilateral interactions between DG Agri and Dow Chemicals, Dupont, Syngenta, Baryer and Mondanto during the past year.
I am not aware of the nature of the communication between those companies and the Commission so I am not able to give you more precision on subjects , references or document produced as this is what I would like to find out through this request.

Thank you in advance for providing these document at your earliest convenience.

Yours faithfully,
Myriam Douo

Dear Madam,

We refer to your e-mail dated 20/12/2016 in which you make a request for access to documents, registered on 20/12/2016 under the above mentioned reference number.
Your application is currently being handled. However, we will not be in a position to complete the handling of your application within the time limit of 15 working days, which expires today.
As different units of DG AGRI are concerned, an extended time limit is needed in order to finalize the treatment of your request.

Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days in accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 08/02/2017.
However, I would like to inform you that you will receive our reply much earlier than the new deadline.

We apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.

Yours faithfully,
