Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs
12 November 2008, Central government
The complainant requested that the Rural Payments Agency disclose information regarding the distribution of subsidies under the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy. The RPA ultimately relied on the exemption provided by regulation 13 of the Environmental Information Regulations. The Commissioner found that the legitimate interest in the processing of the third party data outweighed the legitimate interests of the data subjects. The Commissioner therefore upheld the complainant’s complaint and directed that the requested information be released.
