Dear Mr Molloy

 

Request for extension of time under s15AA of the FOI Act

 

The purpose of this email is to request an extension of time for 7 days from 9 July 2013 to 16 July 2013 to process your request for access to documents from the following files:

1) C2012/12282 Trans Pacific Partnership Free Trade Agreement -
    Pharmaceutical Provisions
2) C2012/12298 Trans Pacific Partnership 2012 Free Trade Agreement
    - Round 14 Negotiations - Leesburg (Washington DC) USA
3) C2012/12458 Trans Pacific Partnership Free Trade Agreement -
    International Exhaustion/Parallel Importation
4) C2012/12687 Trans Pacific Partnership Free Trade Agreement -
    Traditional Knowledge - Genetic Resources And Traditional Cultural
    Expressions
5) C2012/12966 Briefing And Ministerial Correspondence 2012 - Gene
    Patenting - Domestic Policy
6) C2012/13878 Trans Pacific Partnership 2012 Free Trade Agreement
    - Round 15 Negotiations - Auckland NZ

 

IP Australia had hoped to be able to issue a decision by next Tuesday 9 July, however we are still awaiting a response from a number of other agencies in relation to our consultations with them. I anticipate that once we receive a response from them, it will only be a matter of a day or two before the decision can be issued.

 

If you agree to this request, could you please advise my by return email.

 

My apologies once again for this unforeseen delay.

 

Regards
