Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50433493 (15 October 2012)

Summary: The complainant asked the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for research papers related to Kosovo-™s unilateral declaration of independence in February 2008. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office provided some information but refused to provide the remainder on the basis of the following exemptions: prejudice to international relations (section 27), formulation and development of government policy (section 35) and unfair processing of personal data (section 40). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office is entitled to withhold the majority of the remainder on the basis of the exemptions it has cited. However, it should disclose a small amount of personal data that it previously withheld. In failing to provide this personal data, it contravened the requirements of section 1 and 10 of the Act.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 27 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 35 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Partly Upheld
