- Decision(s) FOI 43: Upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to a particular application for funding operated by the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) on behalf of the European Fisheries Fund (EFF). The MMO provided some of the requested information but withheld the remainder under sections 40(2) (third party personal data) and 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner has been asked to consider the MMO’s reliance on section 43(2) of FOIA and has found that the exemption is not engaged. He therefore requires the MMO to disclose the information to which section 43(2) has been applied.
