The use of the right to the access to public information by entrepreneurs in Poland

This article discusses how to use the right to public information by entrepreneurs in Poland. The aim of the right to the access to public information, which was specified in Article 61 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997 and the Act of 6 September 2001 on the Access to Public Information, was to enable citizens to have the access to public information. Currently this right is more frequently used by entrepreneurs in Poland as a tool to obtain information used in their business activity. In addition to public information obtained by entrepreneurs via the website of the Public Information Bulletin, entrepreneurs use for this purpose the procedure of a public information request.
