Summary/Abstract: The paper will analyze the national regulations on access to information of public interest in matters of environmental protection according to Romanian Law no.544/2001 on access to public interest information. In order to compare the Romanian standard to international reference, the author will analyze the provisions of the Aarhus Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters, alongside The European Regulation (EC) no.1367/2006.Basically, the author concluded that the three normative acts contain some common provisions, but their use may lead to different effects depending on the type of information requested, or the institution to which the request is addressed.
