FOI laws in the worldFreedom of information in Europe5. October 2002: This Internet publication is a "hearing": Please send comments to: walter.keim@gmail.com. Have I forgotten somebody on the list below?

The human right of Freedom of Information is found overall in the EUin Europe and developed countries all over the world. Germany is (in federal agencies and 12 of 16 local Lander) nearly the only exception in Europe. As EU citizen I have this right towards EU institutions, according to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (Article 42: Right of access to documents). Why not in Germany?


I accuse:

Questions:

Will the petition on freedom of information: http://wkeim.bplaced.net/petition_ifg.htm be answered? Will civil rights be more important than objections of the "administration". Will this petition at least be send over to the government?

Will the United Nations do, what they promise: To promote freedom of information as human right: http://wkeim.bplaced.net/petition_un.htm?

As EU-Citizen I would like to ask: How long will the EU Commission and the the European Parliament (Courrier du Citoyen) look at that my human right of freedom of information is violated. In other countries in Europe this is respected. I become a second class citizen travelling to Germany.

Will the European Convention solve this problem? According to Com 2002/0247 the "Union must build up an EU-wide area of freedom, security and justice" with "guarantee for the principles of democracy and respect for human rights". How long will EU tolerate member states not respecting human rights?.
