Dear T Benseman
Response to your request for official information
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) on 29 October 2020
for:
“Please advise the scope of correspondence you have regarding Codex Alimentarius over
the last 7 years, by amount per year.”
Your request appears to be more closely associated with the functions and responsibilities of
the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI). The standard approach would be to transfer this
request to MPI under section 14 of the Act. However, I understand you have made the same
request to MPI. For this reason, a transfer of your request is no longer necessary. You can
expect a response from MPI in due course.
Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review any
decisions made under this request.
Yours sincerely
Nick Allan
Manager, OIA Services
Office of the Director-General
