Glyphosate to Commission President Juncker and cabinet

The request was partially successful.

Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

1. Any documents between January 2016 and now, including briefings, reports, correspondence (email or other), where the active substance glyphosate is concerned or mentioned, between European Commission President Mr Jean Claude Juncker, his cabinet and staff; and third parties.

2. A list of meetings, as well as agendas and minutes or any other reports of such meetings, also between January 2016 and now, where the active substance glyphosate is concerned or mentioned, between European Commission President Mr Jean Claude Juncker, his cabinet and staff; and third parties.

Third parties excluded from our request are those that are supporting organisations to the European Citizens' initiative 'Stop Glyphosate' (see https://stopglyphosate.org/ ) and participants to mass petitions.

I kindly urge you to not apply a rigid interpretation of the clause on commercial secrets. Should this request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the regulation.

I look forward to a positive consideration of this request.

Yours faithfully,

Nina Holland

Dear Ms Holland,
 
We acknowledge receipt of your email of 25 July in which you explain that
you cannot open the zip files as shown in our reply.
 
We would like to know if you would need them electronically, knowing that
it would be very difficult to resend you 63 documents by email.
 
Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
 
Yours sincerely,
