We at IPP Romania we asked this a few years ago and had like more the 50% rate of response. Some were raw data like xls files while some others where combed to remove embarrasing meetings/activities. We did that on a lobby status report in the country probing their contacts with busnisses.
As far as I remember we sue the others but with so much luck as for us the law states that uou have to have that info produced or detained by your institution and we were not able to produce evidence against the position of cabinet members that there is nobody doind that schedule on paper. Stupid but the judge buy it. I jave to admit some of those sued sended the info just when they were sued. The fight is mainly to hide lobby activities on them and pure political work rather than ministerial. Also take in mind that at least for us the dignitaries bear that capacity not 9 to 5 as regular covil servants but 24/7 :) Adrian IPP Romania Sent from my iPhone On 15.05.2013, at 14:57, PC DIP <dip.dyskusy...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear All, > > As the Non-Governmental Centre on Access to Public Information we run > a number of cases linked to access to information of calendars of > members of cabinet in the Polish government.
