From: Vida Zelenka
Dear Minister of Trade,
Please release the draft text of the TPPA. This international agreement could affect many aspects of life in New Zealand including PHARMAC and the ability for corporations to sue the NZ government. Transparency is key in the negotiation process.
Yours faithfully,
Vida Zelenka
From: T Groser (MIN)
Minister of Trade
On behalf of Hon Tim Groser, thank you for your email. Your
correspondence has been noted and will be recorded.
All correspondence, including email, is routed through our mail tracking
process. Although e-mail increases the speed of delivery, the
“behind-the-scenes” efforts of the Minister’s staff in responding to
mail cannot always provide the kind of speedy response users of email may
anticipate.
While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, if it is
obvious that you are writing only to express a personal view your opinion
will be noted but a response beyond this acknowledgement may not be sent.
Thank you again.
