The chapter focuses on the necessity of transparency for the democratic decision-making process and looks for the link between transparency of lobbying and transparency of the decision-making process. Transparency, along with the concept of good governance, has become a central issue in the public policy debate in recent years. Rules are the cornerstone of transparency. Rules define the space and arenas and set basic penalties for their breaching. Two key questions arise: What is the transparency of the rules itself? And what is transparency in the process of their adoption? In this chapter, both these questions are addressed, rules and their outcomes discussed, together with the process of their formulation and implementation. |
