Workshop on Access to Government Information

Workshop on Access to Government Information

Taken from EU-China Information Society Project

After working on “Access to Government Information” research work for a period of time, especially under the circumstance that the Ordinance of Access to Government Information of PRC (the Ordinance) has been publicized, it is time to shift the research focus to the implementation of the Ordinance accordingly. Then there comes the necessity for the research team to evaluate the research work at the former stage, and to make Chinese demands understood for next stage’s efficient reference to EU experience when carrying out the Ordinance. To this end, the EU-China Information Society Project hosted the Access to Government Information Workshop on June 19^th, 2007.

This event seeks to:

• Provide specific European and international experiences related to preparations before FOIAs came into effect.
• Identify relevant provisions of the Ordinance on Access to Government Information of PRC that require further clarification before implementation process and related training activities can be developed and initiated.
• Present requirements for future implementation of the Chinese Ordinance on the national, provincial, district and local level.
• Receive additional expert feedback to refine the work.
