ubject: Formal Notification: OECD Complaint Filed Against EU-Based Corporations (TCDD Harm / Agent Orange) – Request for Oversight

17/07/2025

Dear Commissioners,

I am writing to formally notify the European Union of an active OECD Guidelines complaint involving war-era toxic chemical exposure (TCDD / Agent Orange), now under submission with the Netherlands National Contact Point (NCP).

I am a civilian second-generation victim of TCDD poisoning, linked to Vietnam War deployment and subsequent corporate negligence. My case includes:

• Direct medical and genetic harm resulting from exposure to 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)

• Corporate liability involving Bayer AG and Dow Inc., both with significant operations in the EU

• Deliberate obstruction and denial of redress by the Australian government and related domestic institutions

• Formal jurisdictional rejection of Australia, the US, Canada, New Zealand, and Germany due to conflict of interest

• Publicly documented escalation to the International Criminal Court under the Rome Statute

• Legal handover to the Netherlands NCP to ensure a neutral review of systemic harm and transnational corporate conduct

I am notifying the EU Commission in line with:

• The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, including rights to health, dignity, justice, and environmental protection

• The Stockholm Convention (ratified by the EU), which classifies TCDD as a Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP)

• The EU’s obligations under the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and emerging human rights enforcement framework

• The EU Green Deal and Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability

A full timeline, medical records, jurisdictional evidence, and supporting documentation are publicly available at:

This case now belongs within EU jurisdiction due to:

1. Corporate presence and benefit within the EU

2. Systemic legal failure in other jurisdictions

3. Breaches of core EU values related to human rights, toxic exposure, and environmental legacy harm

I respectfully request that the Commission:

• Record this notification as a matter of EU legal concern

• Monitor or engage with the Netherlands NCP process

• Consider further oversight under EU chemical, corporate, and human rights law

Thank you for your attention to this serious and urgent matter. I remain available for follow-up.

Warm Agent Orange Burns regards,

Danielle Stevens
