Reflections on the application of the new regulations on public transparency

Abstract

In this article a global approach to the new state and regional regulation of transparency is carried out: meaning, origin, content and guarantees. It insists on the need to analyze not only the depth or quality of the legal provisions but also the decisive role of the interpreter and applicator, and in particular to the supervisory authorities, in view of the abstract nature of many of its key concepts. Only this joint vision of context, text and application provides the measure of the actual level of public transparency.
