On 15th February 2013 the Italian Cabinet announced the approval of a
Legislative Decree for the /Review of the rules concerning the
obligations of disclosure, transparency and dissemination of information
by public administrations/ (the so-called "Transparency Decree"). The
Decree states an (excessively?) ambitious principle of "*total
accessibility of information about the organization and the activities
of public administrations*", in order to encourage distributed forms of
control "on the pursuit of the institutional functions and the use of
public resources".

But, what will be the actual impact of the Decree? Is it over-ambitious
and too demanding? Is it sufficient to guarantee actual transparency,
fight corruption and promote efficiency? Does it include sufficient
incentives and/or sanctions? *Federico Morando*, managing director of
the Nexa Center for Internet & Society, and *Christian Quintili*,
coordinator of the ActionAid Bologna office, will discuss these and
related topics, focusing on the opening of data about public budgets and
encompassing a specific perspective about freedom of information and
human rights.

The Decree collates and strengthens several existing obligations
concerning the proactive *publication of pieces of information which are
useful to monitor the activities of public administrations*, increase
their efficiency and fight corruption. The Decree also defines a right
of "civic access". In fact, this provision enables any citizen to
require the publication of pieces of information which should already be
public. This is admittedly *something different from the right of access
under FOIA-like laws* (in the Italian case, the existing "FOIA" is law
241/1990 with its demanding requirements and limited scope).

This seminar is organized in collaboration with "Last-JD
<http://www.last-jd.eu/> | Joint International Doctoral (Ph.D.) Degree
in Law, Science and Technology "and will be held in English.
