New GM techniques (also called new breeding techniques)
Dear Secretariat General (SG),
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting from the Secretariat-General of the European Commission (Secretary-General, his team, officials) documents which contain the following information:
- Any documents since January 1st 2015, including briefings, reports, correspondence (email or other), and a list of meetings (also since January 1st 2015) with detailed minutes and any other reports of such meetings, concerning the regulation of new plant breeding within the EU.
- Any documents since January 1st 2015 including briefings, reports, correspondence (email or other), and a list of meetings (also since January 1st 2015) with detailed minutes and any other reports of such meetings, concerning the policy process the European Commission is considering to to determine the regulatory status of new plant breeding techniques in the EU.
Of particular interest are any documents (as listed above) received from and responding to new plant breeding developers and their representatives, including but not limited to: Europabio, the New Breeding Techniques Platform, ILSI, the Biotechnology Industry
Organisation, the European Plant Science Organisation (EPSO), CropLife, the European Seed Association, lobby consultancies (such as Schuttelaar & Partners) and individual companies and research institutions.
By new plant breeding methods, we mean those techniques that were the subject of the New Techniques Working Group report (2012) and the subject of various reports by the JRC.
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 would like to thank you for your swift dealing of previous requests on this issue, and I look forward to a positive consideration of this request.
Yours faithfully,
