Dear Mr Staniford

I write further to the list of documents I sent you in the relevant cases and further to your request for

“any information since 1 January 2020 on imported/exported ova into salmon farms and any disease risks including Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA) and Piscine reovirus (PRV) … include discussions with the egg companies, government agencies, salmon farming companies and other parties.”

 

The following documents have now been published:

https://www.eftasurv.int/cms/sites/default/files/documents/gopro/1158794%20Norwegian_ADNS_Notification_300320.pdf

However, the rest of the documents in the list are covered by one or more exemptions and access to them is being refused.

The reasons behind the refusals for the following documents are as follows:

Partial Refusal on the grounds of Article 4(4)(i)

Parts of the following documents are exempted from public access based on Article 4(4)(i) RAD, which provides that the Authority shall refuse access to a document, unless there is an overriding public interest in disclosure, where disclosure would undermine the protection of commercial interests of a natural or legal person, including intellectual property;

1163765

The above document concerned by this exemption is a closure memo, which contains some commercially sensitive information. The Authority takes the view that disclosing the commercially sensitive parts of the document would undermine the protection of the commercial interests of the third party.

The Authority takes the view is that there is no overriding public interest in disclosure of the redacted parts of the above document.

The remainder of the document, with redactions, has been published and is available at:

https://www.eftasurv.int/cms/sites/default/files/documents/gopro/1163765%20Closure%20memo%20-%20ISA-free%20status%20of%20compartment%20Case%20Redacted.pdf

 

 

Refusal on the grounds of Article 4(4)(iii)

The following documents are exempted from public access based on Article 4(4)(iii) RAD, which provides that the Authority shall refuse access to a document, unless there is an overriding public interest in disclosure, where disclosure would undermine the protection of the purpose of inspections, investigations and audits

1154155	1130735	1123592
1154280	1130733	1123713
1150012	1129999	1164344
1150377	1123968
1149936	1123614

The documents concerned by this exemption relate to the preparation, the findings and the subsequent follow-up of investigation meetings with the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (NFSA) on aquaculture, which was held from 21 to 23 September 2020.

In order for the Authority to carry out its task in ensuring compliance with the EEA Agreement in the EEA, the Authority needs to ensure that it has the necessary good working relationships with the EFTA States and European Commission. This involves sharing sensitive information, in order to have a free and open discussion between a regulator (ESA), a cooperating regulatory body (the Commission) and the regulated State.

The Authority takes the view that disclosing the documents exchanged concerning the above-mentioned investigation would risk making the States and the Commission reluctant to share information with the Authority in relation to these important missions. As disclosing the concerned documents with the public at large would make a free and open discussion between the Authority and other stakeholders more difficult, the Authority considers that disclosing the concerned documents would undermine the protection of the purpose of inspections, investigations and audits.

The view of the Authority is that the documents cannot be partially redacted, as the redactions would be so extensive that they would render the remaining information useless.

The Authority takes the view is that there is no overriding public interest in disclosure of the above documents.

Refusal on the grounds of Article 4(4)(iii), Article 4(5), and Article 4(4)(i) RAD

The following documents are exempted from public access based on

• Article 4(4)(iii) RAD, which provides that the Authority shall refuse access to a document, unless there is an overriding public interest in disclosure, where disclosure would undermine the protection of the purpose of inspections, investigations and audits; and
• Article 4(5) RAD, which provides that the Authority shall refuse access to a document which relates to a matter where the decision has not been taken by the Authority, if disclosure of the document would seriously undermine the Authority’s decision-making process, unless there is an overriding public interest in disclosure; and
• Article 4(4)(i) RAD, which provides that the Authority shall refuse access to a document, unless there is an overriding public interest in disclosure, where disclosure would undermine the protection of: commercial interests of a natural or legal person, including intellectual property

Article 4(4)(iii) RAD

The documents concerned by this exemption relate to the preparation, the findings and the subsequent follow-up of investigation meetings with the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (NFSA) on aquaculture, which was held from 21 to 23 September 2020.

In order for the Authority to carry out its task in ensuring compliance with the EEA Agreement in the EFTA States, the Authority needs to ensure that it has the necessary good working relationships with the EFTA States and European Commission. This involves sharing sensitive information, in order to have a free and open discussion between a regulator (ESA), a cooperating regulatory body (the Commission) and the regulated State.

The Authority takes the view that disclosing the documents exchanged concerning the above mentioned investigation would risk making the States and the Commission reluctant to share information with the Authority in relation to these important missions. As disclosing the concerned documents with the public at large would make a free and open discussion between the Authority and other stakeholders more difficult, the Authority considers that disclosing the concerned documents would undermine the protection of the purpose of inspections, investigations and audits.

Article 4(5) RAD

This exemption is intended to safeguard the Authority’s decision-making process. In the follow-up to an inspection, the Authority and EFTA State are involved in discussing the actions which the State proposes to take in response to particular findings of the Authority; a discussion which is highly sensitive as it is likely to have an impact on multiple stakeholders.

Publishing the listed documents would prevent the Authority and the State from having a free and open dialogue, as both parties would risk being exposed to undue pressure from external actors who may be affected by the decisions, and would consequently seriously undermine the Authority’s decision-making process.

Article 4(4)(i) RAD

In addition, the above documents contain some commercially sensitive information. The Authority takes the view that disclosing the commercially sensitive parts of the document would undermine the protection of the commercial interests of the third party.

The Authority notes that the exemption under Article 4(4)(i) is partially applicable, in line with Article 4(9) RAD. However, the view of the Authority is that applying the exemptions set out in Article 4(4)(iii) RAD and Article 4(5) RAD means that the documents cannot be partially redacted, as the redactions would be so extensive that they would render the remaining information useless.

The Authority takes the view is that there is no overriding public interest in disclosure of the above documents.

Refusal on the grounds of Article 4(4)(iii) and Article 4(5) RAD

The following documents are exempted from public access based on

• Article 4(4)(iii) RAD, which provides that the Authority shall refuse access to a document, unless there is an overriding public interest in disclosure, where disclosure would undermine the protection of the purpose of inspections, investigations and audits; and
• Article 4(5) RAD, which provides that the Authority shall refuse access to a document which relates to a matter where the decision has not been taken by the Authority, if disclosure of the document would seriously undermine the Authority’s decision-making process, unless there is an overriding public interest in disclosure

Documents previously requested and refusal maintained

You requested the following documents in 2020, and the Authority has already taken a decision on whether to make a grant of public access to these documents.

The reasons for a denial of a grant of public access to the following documents are set out in the Annex to College Decision 075/20/COL, "Reply to confirmatory application - Request for all documents in Case 83033 - Document Number 1104387", which was sent to you on 3 July 2020:

1122137	1121673	1121187	1115739
1121666	1121674	1121188	1115740

1121672	1121186	1120857	1115739

The Authority takes the view that no changes have taken place since 3 July 2020 which would lead the Authority to revise this assessment.

I inform you that, pursuant to Article 10(1) RAD, a refusal of public access to documents entitles you within 15 working days (Thursday 18 November 2021) to make a confirmatory application asking the Authority to take a formal position regarding one or more of these documents. In the event that you make a confirmatory application, the President will adopt a Decision, and this decision will be a challengeable act before the EFTA Court.

Yours sincerely,

Scottish Salmon Watch reported in July 2020:

 

 

Last month Scottish Salmon Watch revealed that imports of salmon eggs (ova) into Scottish salmon farms may have restarted following a ban in May 2019 due to Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA).   Now the European Free Trade Association has finally disclosed some documents via Freedom of Information but refused many more citing commercial confidentiality.
