Dear Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, and further to my previous request 2024/0567, I would like to request access to the following documents related to lobbying on PFAS, per and polyfluoroalkyl substances. In particular I would like:

1. A list of all meetings/ discussions since 26 January 2024 between officials and or Commissioners with businesses, trade associations, or think tanks where this topic was discussed.
2. Any records, minutes, preparatory briefings, or other notes of these meetings/discussions.
3. All correspondence since my last request of 26 January 2024 where this topic was discussed, exchanged between officials and or Commissioners with businesses, trade associations, or think tanks.

In addition, I understand that on or around 1 March 2024, DG Grow organised a seminar (internal to the Commission) on PFAS and alternatives. I would be grateful to receive the agenda, speakers presentations, and notes/ minutes from this session.

To the extent possible, my strong preference is to receive documents in electronic format.

I would also be grateful to receive the documents in batches, as soon as they are identified and available to send.

I look forward to receiving the respective documents accordingly.

Thank you in advance and also for the documents supplied for 2024/0567.

Dear Ms Cann,

We are writing concerning your request for access to Commission documents
registered on 23/07/2024 under case number EASE 2024-3939.

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 13/08/2024.

The application concerns a very large number of documents and (part of)
