Summary: The complainant requested information about possible infraction proceedings by the European Commission against the UK regarding the discharge of waste water. The Welsh Assembly Government refused the request on the basis that to disclose the information would adversely affect international relations and it determined that the public interest favoured maintaining the exception to disclosure. The Commissioner-s decision is that the Welsh Assembly Government correctly applied the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 to the complainant-s request. The Commissioner-s decision is that the Welsh Assembly Government (the -Welsh Government-) correctly found that disclosure would adversely affect international relations and that it therefore appropriately applied regulation 12(5)(a) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (the -EIR-). The Commissioner also found that the public interest favours maintaining the exception to disclosure. He requires no steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 12.5.a - Complaint Not upheld
