Resumen

Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1210/90 established the European Environment Agency and the European environment information and observation network. In particular, the Agency is in charge of ensuring the broad dissemination of reliable environmental information. In accordance with paragraph I of this Decision, the public shall have the widest possible access to Agency documents under the conditions hereby laid down. 'Agency documents` means any existing written text, whatever its format, containing existing data and emanating from the European Environment Agency. This Decision is not applicable to documents already published. An application for access to an Agency document shall be sent in writing to the Executive Director of the Agency. Applicants do not have to prove an interest (paragraph II). In case of refusal or failure to reply, the applicant may apply to the Management Board in compliance with the conditions hereby laid down. Access to an Agency document shall not be granted when its disclosure might undermine the interests referred to in paragraph V, such as the protection of the public interest (public security, international relations, monetary stability, court proceedings, inspections and investigations) or the protection of commercial and industrial secrecy.
