Furthermore, it is proposed that right of access should be permitted in relation
to finalised internal documents that contain a systematic reproduction of
practice in certain areas (Draft Bill, Section 26, No. 5).
It is proposed that the Minister for the Interior and Social Affairs, in consultation
with LGDK and Danish Regions, be permitted to lay down rules spec
ifying to what extent internal documents kept by municipalities and regions
shall be covered by the right of access to finalised public administration files
(Draft Bill, Section 23(3)).
3.10.2. In regard to the Act’s exemption provisions, the draft Bill contains
the following proposals that, in relation to the present Access to Public Administration
Files Act, entail a restriction of the right of public access:
It is proposed that a provision be inserted which entails that - with the exception
of cases concerning specific administrative decisions etc. – citizens will not in
general have right of access to internal documents and information that in connection
with servicing a Minister are shared between ministries, between agencies,
between a ministry and a subordinate agency, or between a ministry and
an agency under another ministry (Draft Bill, Section 24).
A majority of the Commission (11 members) propose that a provision be
inserted which stipulates that there is no right of access in relation to documents
and information that are drawn up and shared between Ministers and
Members of the Folketing (Danish Parliament) in connection with matters relating
to legislation or other similar political processes (Draft Bill, Section 27,
No. 2).
A minority of the Commission (10 members) do not share the view, however,
that a provision of the nature specified should be inserted into the Access
to Public Administration Files Act.
The Commission furthermore proposes that the right of access to public
administration files should not apply to internal documents and information
that are shared between LGDK, Danish Regions, municipalities and regions in
connection with financial or political consultations with the Government or in
connection with discussions regarding joint municipal and regional political
initiatives (Draft Bill, Section 25).
A majority of the Commission (13 members) propose that the right of access
to public administration files should not extend to matters relating to the
management of diary (Draft Bill, Section 22).
