About
Sometimes, citizens and government collide. Do you want to know more about how your government handled a certain issue, but are you getting stuck? Or are you an elected official or civil servant struggling to answer a formal request for information fully and correctly, and in compliance with the law? The WOB BES can be a fickle thing. It's a piece of legislation that looks much more clear cut on paper than it is in practice. Nevertheless: correct application of the WOB BES serves everybody's interest.
