COTAI is an entity of collaboration and horizontal cooperation, composed of the State Council and the bodies guaranteeing the transparency of the autonomous communities, whose purpose is to contribute to strengthening transparency and guaranteeing the right of access to public information at all levels of the State through joint activities.
During the working sessions of the Conference, held at the headquarters of the Canarian Parliament, experiences have been shared and various solutions have been examined to address the main challenges currently posed by the bodies that guarantee the right of citizens to access public information.
Important recent milestones have also been analysed, such as the preliminary draft of the Open Administration Law or the Supreme Court ruling on the BOSCO case, which establishes a fundamental jurisprudence in terms of algorithmic transparency and, in particular, on the right of access to the source code of the applications used by administrations to make decisions that affect citizens.
The delegation of the Transparency Council has been formed, in addition to its president, by the Deputy Director General of Transparency and Good Governance, Gonzalo Gómez de Villalobos, by the Deputy Director General of Claims of Autonomous Communities and Local Entities, José Manuel Jover Lorente, and by the advisory spokesman Enrique Orduña Prada.
