". In 1998, the European Community and its fifteen Member States signed what was called the Århus Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters, the main aim of which was to allow the public to become more involved in environmental matters and to actively contribute to improved preservation and protection of the environment. Signing the Århus Convention requires measures to be adopted that are legally binding on the European Community’s institutions and bodies, and this regulation does this specifically as regards the three pillars of the Convention: access to information, public participation in the decision-making process and access to justice in environmental matters. Access to high-quality information (preferably made available on public electronic databases), must today be considered to be a standard prerogative of citizenship. Only by establishing rules for this access will we effectively contribute to ensuring public control in an area that concerns everyone – a genuine citizenship of the environment, including access to justice in environmental matters at Community level."@en1
