Summary: The Council of the European Union approved on 28 May 2018 its annual report on the implementation of Regulation 1049/2001 regarding public access to documents. Further information: Article 17(1) of Regulation 1049/2001 on access to documents establishes that each institution has to publish an annual report on the implementation of the Regulation for the preceding year. The draft annual report for the year 2017 identifies the main trends and features of requests for access to Council documents and reviews complaints to the Ombudsman as well as rulings given by the European Courts in cases concerning the institutions' implementation of the regulation. The report for 2017 follows the shortened format of the previous two years since the statistical data which provides the basis for the report became available as open data on the Council's website. |
