Abstract/Description:

Italy is trying to overcome a situation of widespread corruption, which is reflected in a legislation that generally gives more weight to transparency over the protection of business and technical secrets and, more generally, over competition concerns. The interplay between general and public procurement specific rules on both individual and open access however results in some apparently incongruous situations regarding legitimation, documents covered by access and litigation.
