This book, which takes account of legal
developments until April 2012,
describes in detail the EU law affecting the
transparency of the institutions
as well as the actual practice of the
European Commission, the Council and the
European Parliament. The relevant
practice of other institutions and bodies is
also considered. Among the
topics covered are:
the scope and extent of public access to documents
under Regulation 1049/2001;
the impact on public access of Regulation
1367/2006 (the ‘Aarhus Regulation’);
the procedure for applying for public
access;
rules on classified information;
data protection and public
access;
the openness of decision-making,
the relationship of Regulation
1049/2001 and other rules on access to
documents;
the law pertaining to
the Official Journal;
other aspects of transparency of EU
decision-making, such as languages,
quality of drafting and the involvement
of lobbyists;
remedies in Court and before the Ombudsman.
Fulfilling the
clear need for a practical guide to the nuts and bolts of the
law and
practice on transparency in the EU's institutional system, this book
is
written for the practitioner and indeed any party with an interest
in
availing of his or her rights under EU law. It is the only legal resource
that
serves this function and does so with élan and a matchless
clarity.
