MODES OF PROVIDING PUBLIC INFORMATION
Abstract
This article is concerned with the modes of providing public information in the light of
the Polish Access to Public Information Act. This Polish regulation lays down the concept of
wide access to public information. In principle, everybody has a right to be informed of every
public affair that includes access to documents and sessions of public authorities appointed by
election. One is entitled to exercise the mentioned right without the need to provide any legal
or factual reason.The author presents some ways of exercising the right to public information
and the related duties of authorities and other entities obliged to disclose information.
Information about public affairs is published in the Bulletin of Public Information accessible on web sites. This is the basic way to ensure access to that information. The information that
is not published in the Bulletin is available on request. In such case, the written form of
application is not required when the information can be imparted immediately. Furthermore
the author undertakes an attempt to specify the legal forms of authorities’ actions that take
place during a procedure initiated by the application. The last characterised mode of access to
public information is openness and transparency of sessions of collective authorities appointed
by election.
