| Abstrakt: |
One major impact of the EU accession from the Czech information professionals’
point of view will be the entitlement to public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents. With a
rising level of awareness and interest, and a growing need to consult the Institutions’ documents for several reasons,
the citizens and small and medium enterprises will direct their request primarily to their local information
professionals, with the - somehow legitimate - expectation for guidance and help. The speech gives a short overview over
the tools and instruments facilitating access to information concerning the Institutions and offers a closer look at the
legal basis for access to documents. In this context Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001* is considered a document of central
importance and will be presented in detail. Principles of the regulation will be worked out and some case law from the
European Court of Justice will be used to raise awareness of the exceptions from the general rule of granting public
access to documents. At the end of the presentation the Institutions’ distinction between access to documents and access
to information may be discussed.
* Regulation 2001/1049/EC; published in OJ 2001 L 145/43 |
