Proposition de loi modifiant la loi du 11 avril 1994 relative à la publicité de l'administration afin de renforcer la transparence du traitement, par les instances administratives, des demandes de consultation, d'explications ou de communication sous forme de copie.

This Belgian bill, proposed in the Chamber of Representatives, would amend the 1994 law on the publicity of administration. The law gives citizens the right to consult administrative documents, request explanations, and obtain copies. The bill aims to make the way administrative bodies process these requests more transparent. Based on metadata only, the full text and its specific measures were not reviewed. The change would mainly affect citizens and individuals seeking access to government documents, as well as the public administrations that handle such requests. Journalists, researchers and civil society groups who rely on public information may also be affected by any resulting changes to procedures.
