Request for a moratorium on the 5G rollout
Request for guidelines based on independent research
Request for your documents showing that 5G is safe
Dear Dr. Vytenis Andriukaitis, EU Commissioner of Health
cc: WHO, UN, Council of Europe, Nordic Prime Ministers, Signatories of the EU 5G appeal

We make reference to the Precautionary Principle (PP)1 It ”enables a rapid response to be given in the faceof a possible danger to human health…institutions may take protective measures without having to wait
until the reality… of risks become apparent … preventive action should be taken” (C-157/96 ; C-180/96, 99100).2 Research confirms 5G to be a risk to all life on earth.
With this communication we touch upon three points:
1. Firstly, we request in the 5G Appeal to EU,3 of which you are a public servant and representative, to declare an immediate moratorium on 5G deployment. The 5G appeal to EU is now confirmed by 230+ truly
independent scientists and physicians from 36 countries. The Space 5G appeal4 has more than 83 000
affirmations from 168 countries. According to PP1 and EU IP/00/965 ”protection of health takes precedence
over economic considerations.”
2. Secondly, we ask for groups of truly industry-independent researchers to establish new guidelines forexposure. An "In-depth analysis" of the deployment of 5G,6 published by EU in April 2019, needs to beseriously considered. It stated that” One aspect, for example, that is not well understood today is theunpredictable propagation patterns that could result in unacceptable levels of human exposure to electromagnetic radiation.”(p. 6).
There are published reviews7 showing that pulsed EMFs as 5G, are in most cases much more biologically
active than are continuous waves (non-pulsed) EMFs of the same average intensities. When the intensitiesof these pulses are averaged over a 6 minute period, as in the ICNIRP and the 2013 EU guidelines,8 theseguidelines claim that there cannot be any effects because the intensity averaged over 6 minutes is too low.
It follows from this that the EU and similar guidelines are flawed in their ability to protect against effects
produced by short strong pulses.
The EMF Scientists Appeal9 calls for greater health protection from EMF exposure. Professor Emeritus Martin
L. Pall describes in his report10 that ICNIRP and SCENIHR deny scientific facts. ICNIRP has only a rather limited
number of members11, some with obvious conflicts of interest, in contrast to the 5G appeal with 230+ endorsements3 and the EMF Scientists Appeal9 endorsed by 247 truly independent EMF and health scientists.
According to (Art. 191)12 the Precautionary Principle1 as stated in the TFUE (Art. 114, 3:)13 ”take as a base ahigh level of protection, taking account in particular of any new development based on scientific facts” and(Art 168:) ”A high level of human health protection shall be ensured … promoting research into … prevention,
as well as health information and education, and early warning of…threats to health … in particular initiatives
aiming at the establishment of guidelines”. That process should start with a scientific evaluation ’as complete
as possible’.” (Handbook of EEA Law, page 843).14 Council of Europe Resolution 181515 (8.2.1) suggests,
based on extensive research, guidelines of 0.6 V/m or preferably 0.2 V/m, about 1/100 of the current guidelines.
3. Thirdly, with this letter we are formally requesting, in accordance with Art. 4216 on EU Fundamental Rights,
access to all documents in your possession, either created by you or at your disposal, related to the effects

of EMF to human health and the environment. Once in possession of such a list, we will decide which of
those documents, if any, are of interest and show that 5G is safe. The list of the documents, and the ways
to access them, should be sent to the email addresses below.
We note that, while the EU is eagerly promoting the rollout of 5G, a new EU report admits6 ”the problem isthat currently it is not possible to accurately simulate or measure 5G emissions in the real world” (p. 12).
”Significant concern is emerging over the possible impact on health and safety arising from potentially muchhigher exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation arising from 5G” (p. 4). The EU report alsostresses dangers: ”Increased exposure may result not only from the use of much higher frequencies in 5G but
also from the potential for the aggregation of different signals, their dynamic nature, and the complex interference effects that may result, especially in dense urban areas.” (p. 11)
We wish to inform the Commissioner that, we will consider litigation in all competent courts, if inevitable, toenforce our rights in case you do not entirely meet our requests. We expect a reply to this letter and the 5G
Appeal to EU3 (see suggestions p. 3) by the deadline of 20 June 2019, to be provided personally by the Commissioner and not by your staff. This issue is too urgent and the threat to all living organisms on this planet
is too great for this issue to be ignored and/or delegated to subordinates. All communications on this issue
will be publicly available.
