Regulation (EU) 1049/2001

Regulation (EU) 1049/2001 is a European Union law that promotes transparency by granting the public access to documents held by EU institutions. It aims to ensure openness in decision-making processes, allowing citizens to be informed about the actions of these institutions. While it encourages transparency, it also outlines exceptions, such as protecting privacy or security. The regulation reinforces the idea that transparency fosters trust and accountability within the EU, making it easier for citizens to engage with and understand the workings of their government.
