Access to information in the European Union

About this book

"In Access to Information in the European Union: a Comparative Analysis of EC and Member State Legislation the authors strive to achieve two goals. First, they aim to provide a detailed and useful overview of EC and Member State legislation in the field of access to information. Second, but just as importantly, they highlight the similarities and differences between the legislation in the various Member States, and between this national legislation and the EC rules. This book addresses two questions in particular: are there any general differences between the 'old' and the 'new' Member States? And is the EU more or less transparent than most Member States? The answers the authors formulate on the basis of their research are - probably - not the ones expected."--BOOK JACKET.
