EU-Institutions

Submitting FOI requests to EU institutions is very simple. You can either use the official FOI website of the EU. Or you can use the platform Ask the EU. Ask the EU has the advantage, that you can share your request with others on o public platform.

Suggestions on the Evaluation

There are many more EU-Instititions that were not asked - because the workload would be simply too much. By comparing the different DGs, we could do a ranking. This would be rewarding for those DGs who support FS. It could also trigger competition to improve.
