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.

Subject: Official Information Act request - TPPA Request

Dear Minister of Trade,

Please supply information relating to the TPPA negotiations. As the results of these negotiations may affect us directly in future, particularly in relation to New Zealand's environmental autonomy and our consumer choices, we feel obliged to ask your office to send us the current up-to-date draft documentation at this stage of the process.

Waiting until a final agreement is made will be too late for our potential submission to have any effect. Therefore we wish to be informed about what has been agreed to already and what is still to be negotiated.

Yours faithfully,

V and B Duthie
