Help Ensure Access to Official Info in Europe

From the Sunshine Week blog:

Access Info, a Spain-based organization dedicated to promoting and protecting access to information worldwide, is asking groups and individuals to sign on to a letter urging European officials to ensure official records remain open.

The letter to the Council of Europe focuses on gaps in what Access Info describes as "the world's first treaty to guarantee the right of access to information," the European Convention on Access to Official Documents.
For more information about the treaty and to sign on to the letter, visit the Access Info Web site.
