PFAS lobbying since 1 January 2023 - DG AGRI
Dear Agriculture and Rural Development,
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 January 2023 between officials and or Commissioners with 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 1 January 2023, 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 have tabled this request separately to DG Clima, DG Move, DG Defis, DG Energy, DG Sante, DG JRC, and DG Trade of the Commission, and a similar request to DG Environment, DG Grow, and the Secretariat-General, and I look forward to receiving the respective documents accordingly.
Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Vicky Cann

Dear Agriculture and Rural Development,
Thank you for the dcuments which I have received for 2024/2341.
I would like to double-check with you that this is indeed all the PFAS lobbying received by you in accordance with my request? Afterall I specifically asked for documents relating to lobbying by businesses, trade associations etc. As far as I can tell you have only provided documents relating to NGOs.
I would be grateful if you could double check. Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Vicky Cann
