Contacts with the TFA (Trifluoroacetic acid) Task Force
Dear Health and Food Safety,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I would like to request access to all documents relating to the TFA (Trifluoroacetic acid) Task Force which is an industry lobby group. In particular I would like:
1. A list of all meetings/ discussions held since 1 January 2024 between officials and or Commissioners with the TFA (Trifluoroacetic acid) Task Force.
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. With regard to the meetings, I would like full minutes, and not just the limited meeting reports which the Commission has published on line since 1 January 2025.
3. All correspondence since 1 January 2024, with the TFA (Trifluoroacetic acid) Task Force, as exchanged between officials and or Commissioners.
4. A list of all studies, research, or assessments supplied by the TFA (Trifluoroacetic acid) Task Force to the Commission, and copies of these studies.
Please note that I am tabling the same request to the Secretariat-General, Grow, Environment, Sante, and Agri.
I look forward to receiving the respective documents accordingly.
Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Vicky Cann
CEO

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are writing concerning your request for access to Commission documents
registered on 14/07/2025 under case number EASE 2025/3559.
We are currently working on your request. However, we have not yet been
able to gather all the elements necessary to carry out a full analysis of
your request. We will not be able to send you the reply within the
prescribed time limit expiring on 04/08/2025.
An extended time limit is needed as (part of) the documents requested

we need to extend this time limit by 15 additional working days. The new
