Ämne: access to documents request - Follow up PFAS lobbying Sweden Perm Rep

Dear Permanent Representation of Sweden to the EU,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001 and further to my request of 26 January 2024 which I think was given your reference of FOI #14113, I would like to request access to the following documents or information related to lobbying on PFAS, per and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as ‘forever chemicals’. In particular I would like:

1. A list of all meetings/ discussions since 26 January 2024 between Permanent Representation officials and 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 26 January 2024, where this topic was discussed, exchanged between Permanent Representation officials and businesses, trade associations, or think tanks.

4. In addition, in response to FOI #14113, you kindly sent me a document entitled "Important considerations on Integrated water management.pdf " which originated from Chemours. It mentions an attachment: is it possible to also receive this document?

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.

Thank you in advance and for the documents sent for FOI #14113.

Kind regards,

Vicky Cann
CEO
Rue d’Edimbourg 26
