Agri - PFAS lobbying
Dear Agriculture and Rural Development,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, and further to my previous request 2024-2341 from 1 May 2024, I would like to request access to the following documents related to lobbying on PFAS, per and polyfluoroalkyl substances, including on the proposed universal PFAS restriction. In particular I would like:
1. A list of all meetings/ discussions held since 1 May 2024 between officials and or Commissioners with lobby organisations where this topic was discussed.
2. Any records, minutes, preparatory briefings, or other notes of these meetings/discussions, including correspondence which set-up, or was follow-up to, these meetings.
3. All correspondence since the above date, where this topic was raised, as exchanged between officials and or Commissioners with lobby organisations.
4. In addition I would like to receive a list of all studies or impact assessments which the DG has contracted out, or undertaken on, PFAS including the proposed universal PFAS restriction, and copies of these studies.
Please note that I am tabling similar requests to the Secretariat-General, Grow, Environment, Trade, Defis, Energy, Clima, Sante, RTD, Move, JRC, and Cnect. I look forward to receiving the respective documents accordingly.
Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
