Can companies or authorities claim author’s rights to deny access to documents? Can EU's border agency Frontex deny any access to information about its activities in the Mediterranean? And what about getting access to documents about the climate? German non-profit Frag den Staat (Ask the State) specialises in freedom of information requests in Germany and Europe. This includes strategic litigation in order to fight for access, so others after Frag den Staat can access to similar documents or in similar situations. Learn what to consider before even filing the first request if you consider to take a case all the way.
