". The aim of this report is to facilitate public access to environmental information, so we cannot be anything but in favour. However, whilst explaining the need to ‘ensure that environmental information is disseminated to the public as widely as possible’, the report half-closes the door that it has just half-opened by assuring that ‘the Member States may refuse a request for environmental information on specific grounds’, in other words whenever they see fit. Furthermore – and this is well beyond the limits of the report itself – of what use is the affirmation of transparency in this area, when major companies which pose the main threat to the environment can always hide behind commercial or business secrecy? Transparency requires the veil of industrial and commercial secrecy to be lifted."@en1
