RE: Interpretation PFAS testing for VP Timmermans (linked to Ares(2023)2621040)
Dear
Thank you very much for the test results and for the excellent cooperation.
Regrettably, we cannot accommodate an interview as Executive Vice-President Frans Timmermans has resigned from the European Commission to run in the upcoming Dutch elections. His duties as Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal have been taken over by MarcA S`ef6oviL', including on an ad interim basis the climate portfolio. We kindly invite you to reach out to them for your request. You'll find the relevant contact details here: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/maros-sefcovic/maros-sefcovics-team en
Thank you in advance for your kind understanding.
With best regards,
European Commission BERL-12M B-1049 Brussels/Belgium +32

Dear
I have now checked and the laboratory was only able to send the results to as no email was supplied for EVP Timmermans on the form.
I have now given them the email address and asked that they forward directly to you.
Meanwhile, you may like to contact
to check what she has received...

After checking thoroughly, regrettably, we could not find the test results of Mr Timmermans. They have not been received by the Commission's doctor as well. May we kindly ask for your help, to contact the laboratory and kindly ask them to send us an electronic copy of the results of Mr Timmermans to his e-mail address:

Dear
I am sorry to learn that you have not yet received anything.
The results will have been sent to the email addresses you gave on the medical consent form for the EVP and his doctor. The laboratory suggests you also check spam folder as there are occasional problems with receipt.
If still no results in any folder, please let me know and we will follow up with the laboratory.

PFAS test for Vice-President Timmermans: next steps
In follow-up to the PFAS blood test taken on 1 June, the Vice-President should have now received his personal results. In this context, and while
4
waiting for further results from two other Commissioners, the EEB is preparing next steps.
The EEB and our scientist colleagues would be happy to help in interpreting the results, if the EVP agrees to share his results with us. We could assist in comparing the levels of individual PFAS found in his blood with the average level found in EU citizens who were tested for the same substances under the Human Bio-Monitoring Programme (HBM4EU).
Meanwhile we would like to start communicating about the tests and propose to begin by tweeting congratulations to the EVP on taking the test - like several thousands of EU citizens. For this we would like to use his photo taken during the blood sampling.
Once the results are received and have been analysed we plan further communications using comments from the EVP on his reaction to learning about his personal burden of PFAS. For this we would ideally like to have a short interview with him, or some personal quotes which could be used.
We hope that your office will also organise some communications around this, and would be happy to support and to retweet your messages.
Please let us know if you have objections to any of the above. If you or your communications colleagues would like a short call to discuss the communications plans, we would be glad to do so.
with best wishes -
