Bayer last week admitted that Monsanto, which it acquired for $63 billion last year, had gathered non-public information as part of the campaign, which French media said sought to influence the public debate on pesticides and genetically modified products. In a Q&A document posted on its website on Tuesday, Bayer said U.S public relations and marketing agency FleishmanHillard, on behalf of Monsanto, had mapped stakeholders in France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and United Kingdom as well as stakeholders related to EU institutions.
The law firm would then contact affected people, most of them journalists, politicians and scientists, no later than by the end of the coming week.
