The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) was found to have bypassed the court for two years when handling information requests related to the agricultural sector. After Follow the Money reported on this issue, the NVWA sought legal advice from the State Advocate, who concluded that the law does not allow for this approach. The NVWA has stated it will adjust its methods.
