Dostęp do informacji publicznej w Polsce

The right of access to public information in Poland is based on Article 61 of the Polish Constitution of 2 April 1997. The Constitution, however, does not specify the mode of providing information, referring in this regard to the acts, and regarding the Seym and the Senate to the Seym rules and the Senate rules. The most important act specifying the mode of providing information in Poland is the Act of 6 September 2001 on Access to Public Information. In accordance with the provisions of this act, the right of access to public information, which is any information about public affairs, is the right of everyone.
