Access to administrative documents is a fundamental requirement for the realization of a fundamental principle in democracies: freedom of information, which encompasses the right to disclose as well as the right to receive information.
The principle of public transparency is thus fulfilled when civil society, citizens but also civic associations, have access to administrative data and documents that are presented in an accessible, legible and meaningful way. This communication presents a framework for the principle of transparency, pointing out bad and good practices in the way states relate to citizens in this area.
