The application of the Andalusian Law of transparency in local entities

Abstract

This paper analyses recent state and regional transparency laws and their application to local entities. State transparency law (2013) and Andalusian transparency law (2014) will come into force to local authorities in December 2015. Until then, local authorities have to face the challenge of organizing the information they hold, creating transparency webs, by themselves or in collaboration with other local authorities and with the regional public administration, designating the authorities and public servants who will be competent to apply the law, training them and helping people to exercise their right.
