  1. 56 Alternative Brando BenifeiRapporteur · JURI “public sector bodies from their confidentiality obligations under”

    (5) This Chapter builds on, and is without prejudice to, Union and national access regimes, in particular with regard to the granting of access to and disclosure of official documents.This Chapter does not create any obligation on public sector bodies to allow the re-use of data or documents, nor does it release public sector bodies from their confidentiality obligations under Union or national law.

    Justification

    This amendment reintroduces the general horizontal principle currently contained in Article 1(2) DGA concerning the relationship between this Chapter, existing Union and national access regimes, and other legal obligations. It helps ensure legal certainty by clarifying that the Regulation does not alter existing rules governing access to documents, confidentiality obligations or applicable legal frameworks.
