A company submitted a request for access to information, addressed to the Ministry of Economy and Enterprise, with the aim of obtaining a copy of the complete resolution and the proposed resolution of the sanctioning file followed against PriceWaterhouse.
The Ministry denied the request because there was a specific procedure for access to information in the Securities Market Act and because of the duty of professional secrecy.
When the complaint was filed, the Council of Transparency and Good Governance considered it, since it understands that there is no specific procedure for access to information and that the duty of professional secrecy is not violated. The motion for a resolution, moreover, is necessary for the final decision to be taken and cannot be regarded as an auxiliary or supporting document.
