Lobbying on PFAS
Dear Environment,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, 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 1 April 2022 between officials and or Commissioners with businesses, trade associations, or think tanks where this topic was discussed.
2. Any records, minutes or notes of these meetings/discussions.
3. All correspondence since 1 April 2022, where this topic was discussed, exchanged between officials and or Commissioners with businesses, trade associations, or think tanks.
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.
Please note that I am tabling this request separately to DG Grow, DG Environment, and the Secretariat-General of the Commission and I look forward to receiving the respective documents accordingly.
Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Vicky Cann

Dear Ms Cann,
We are writing concerning your request for access to Commission documents
registered on 03/04/2023 under case number EASE 2023/2041.
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
27/04/2023.
An extended time limit is needed, as large files have to be examined and
consultations
with third parties and other services need to be performed.
Therefore, in line with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, we
need to extend
this time limit by 15 additional working days. The new time limit expires
on
24/05/2023.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Kind regards,
European Commission
