Subsidies to the plastic industry in the EU
Dear European Environment Agency,
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 on subsidies provided to the plastic industry within the European Union, particularly those related to production, processing, and fossil-based feedstocks.
Could you kindly direct me to any reports, datasets, or analyses that detail:
- The scope and scale of subsidies allocated to the plastic industry in recent years,
- Any available breakdown by country, subsidy type (e.g., direct grants, tax incentives), or environmental impact,
- The relationship between these subsidies and the EU’s environmental objectives, such as the Circular Economy Action Plan or the European Green Deal.
Yours faithfully,
Arian de Zand

Blocked by mail flow rule
How to Fix It
An email admin at eea1.onmicrosoft.com has created a custom mail flow rule
that blocks messages that meet certain conditions, and it appears that
your message has met one or more of those conditions.
• Check the text above for a custom message from the email admin that
may help explain why your message was blocked and how you might be
able to fix it. For example, removing prohibited words from the
message or sending the message from a different email account may be
sufficient to deliver your message.
If you've tried and you're still not able to fix the problem, consider
contacting the email admin at eea1.onmicrosoft.com to discuss what to do.
While they're unlikely to remove or relax the rule, if you have a
legitimate need to deliver your message they may offer guidance for how to
do so.

More Info for Email Admins
Status code: 550 5.7.1_ETR
This error occurs because an email admin at eea1.onmicrosoft.com has
created a custom mail flow rule that has blocked the sender's message.
In some cases, the sender can change the message so it no longer violates
the rule. However, depending on the rule's conditions, it's possible that
the only way to deliver the message is to change the rule itself, and only
an email admin at eea1.onmicrosoft.com can do that. Although it's possible
the rule is unintentionally flawed or it's stricter than the admin
intended, it may be working exactly as they want it to.
