Journal Title: Challenges of the knowledge society ( Provocari ale societatii cunoasterii ) - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 12
Abstract
The right to information is a fundamental right guaranteed to citizens by the Constitution of România, pursuant to article 31. This right may not be silenced or limited by public administration authorities who are obliged to ensure accurate information of the citizens with regard to public activity. The right to information may only be respected by an appropriate transparency level of both central and local public administration authorities. Although the assurance of the transparency of the decisional process should not become a goal in itself, it should represent a permanent concern of public authorities, dignitaries and business environment. In addition to general aspects, this article also comprises the analysis of the legal provisions in România and in the European Union regarding decisional transparency and the main causes which determine the burdening or the impossibility to implement the concept of decisional transparency among public administration authorities, causes which are due not only to authorities but also to how citizens perceive this concept. A better accountability of the leader of public administration authorities and leaders of entities in charge of social dialogue as well as public high officials with regard to the need for real involvement of citizens in the decision-making process will ensure the latter’s confidence in central and local authorities, in the political and business environment and also in the result of their activities – normative acts, administrative decisions.The purpose of this article is torecognition the concept of decisional transparency represents an important means to be used in implementation of the rule of law and of the principle of accountability of public institutions
