".
Many of the complaints made by Europe’s citizens about the Member States’ environment policies are based on the one hand on the lack of transparency by the institutions in terms of informing the public and, on the other, on the lack of consideration of the citizens’ opinions about projects that will have an impact on the environment.
The fact that, in the wake of the Aarhus Convention, the Commission has legislated on public access to information in certain plans and programmes and on public access to justice is, therefore, extremely important.
Greater public information and participation will not only add legitimacy to the decisions taken by our institutions but will also enhance the quality of these decisions. The directive that has been adopted today represents a significant step in this direction – the public dissemination of information will become the rule and the protection of information by the authorities will become a clearly defined exception."@en1
