За понятието „обществена информация" по Закона за достъп до обществената информация
On the Term "Public Information" under the Law on Access to Public Information

Summary/Abstract: The article considers one of the main issues on implementation of LPIA -the identification of the subject of access. To this end are analyzed the types of information which should be presented by the obligated under LPI A persons. The article dwells on the main disadvantages of the existing legislation in this regard: disobedience of the legislator backing up the thesis, that the subject of access is the information but not the document; the absence of legal provisions, settling the specific issues of computer processing of information, allowing access to public information; partial insurance of obligation execution for periodical publication of information by the managers of Administration Structures; significant limitation of information access, contained in the public registers; collision between LPI A and special legislation, under the order of which public information is presented as Administrative services. Special attention is paid to the public information supplied by the mass media which guarantee the transparency of their financing. On the grounds of the critical analysis of operating Bulgarian and Foreign legislation and jurisprudence the article makes proposals de lege ferenda.
