Government takes almost six months to provide information to journalists and citizens

The processing of requests for information to the central government on the basis of the Government Information (Public Access) Act (Wob) is becoming increasingly slower. The Institute for Social Innovation and the Open State Foundation have come to this conclusion on the basis of recent own and comparative research from previous years. Nowadays, ministries take an average of 161 days to answer, while the legal term is two months at the latest.
