Data as of May 31, 2025

In this section, the data on the Claims received and claims resolved in the area of access to information at the state level, i.e. vis-à-vis the General State Administration (Ministries, common services, etc.) and its institutional public sector entities, such as public bodies, independent administrative authorities, state-owned commercial companies and state-owned public foundations.

Remember that all these resolutions are published entirely after dissociation of personal data and are available for consultation in this link.

This table reflects the number of statewide claims that citizens have filed with the Council over the year seeking protection of their right of access to public information at the state level:

This table lists the number of statewide claims that have been resolved by the Council throughout the year:

Note: Please note that the deadline for resolving the claims is 3 months, so that the received claims do not coincide in time with the resolved claims.

The complaints received can be:

• Admitted to processing: they meet the legal requirements to proceed to their examination and enter to assess the merits of the application that gives rise to the claim.
• Inadmissible: they do not meet the legal requirements to be examined by the Council (because they are presented after the deadline, because no public information has been requested but rather a material action, etc. ).
• Filed: The claimant has either expressly waived or failed to remedy the deficiencies reported by the Council with respect to its claim.

The claims, once admitted to processing by the Transparency Council, can be:

• Estimates (in whole or in part): the Council recognises the claimant’s right of access and urges the Administration to provide the requested information (in whole or in part).
• Considered for formal reasons: the information has been provided after the person filed the complaint with the Transparency Council, so that, despite having had access to the requested information, his right to obtain a response within the maximum period established in the Transparency Law has been violated.
• Dismissed: the claim to access the information is not recognized for not having legal protection.
• Suspended: a judicial procedure is pending in a claim of identical characteristics, so its processing is suspended until a judgment is handed down.

*It should be noted that the number of claims resolved in a period does not always coincide exactly with the number of resolutions issued by the Council, since in some cases the same resolution can resolve more than one claim, accumulating the procedures for keeping a substantial identity.
