Document DS 1397/12 (dated 4 June 2012, pdf)

See also: Statewatch analysis of this latest draft of the Access to Documents Regulation by Steve Peers, Professor of Law, Law School, University of Essex.

He concludes that the latest draft would result in a VERY SIGNIFICANT drop in standards as compared to the status quo and that under no circumstances should the EP agree with this text as it stands.
