Grow - PFAS lobbying
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 2024-3939 from 19 July 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 19 July 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, Environment, Trade, Defis, Energy, Agri, Sante, RTD, Move, JRC, Clima, and Cnect. I look forward to receiving the respective documents accordingly.
Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,

Dear applicant,
We are writing concerning your request for access to Commission documents
registered on 6 March 2025 under case number 2025/1321.
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 today (27 March 2025).
Indeed, the application concerns a very large number of documents and
(part of) the documents requested originate from third parties, which
should be consulted.
Therefore, in line with Article 7(3) of [1]Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001,
we need to extend this time limit by 15 additional working days. The new
time limit expires on 17 April 2025.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Kind regards,
EUROPEAN COMMISSION
