PECULIARITIES AND PROBLEMS OF LEGAL REGULATION OF ACCESS TO PUBLIC INFORMATION IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article analyzes the norms of the laws of Ukraine “On Protection of Personal Data”, “On Access to Public Information”, “On Information”. It has been determined that when assessing the availability of information on the activities of public authorities, indicators such as the total number of responses to information requests should be taken into account; Number of satisfied information requests; The number of refusals to provide information; Number of queries left unanswered; Thoroughness, completeness and accuracy of the answer; Timeliness of providing information. Given that the right of citizens to access information and the protection of personal data in Ukrainian legislation is allocated in separate categories of rights, it is expedient to legislatively define the following mechanisms: control over the realization of these rights; Appeal against decisions, actions or inactivity of state authorities, local self-government bodies, associations of citizens, enterprises, institutions, organizations irrespective of the form of ownership regarding access to information and protection of personal data; Prosecution of officials for non-compliance with the current legislation regulating relations in the specified spheres.
