I have one final question relating to European access to information, especially environmental legislation and so on. Is there a restriction on officials providing information through that forum? If they use the European authorities to access information, are there restrictions on the officials passing the information in a given case? It would amount to accessing information using a different mechanism. It is not a freedom of information mechanism but it could be used frequently.
