Baltic Sea Region: Role Model


	The Baltic Sea Region is a good example looking at access to information in constitutions.
	Sweden (1766) and Finland (1950) are the Pioneers. Other states followed. Lithuania (1992), Estonia (1992), Russia (1993), Poland (2001) and Norway (2004) have also constitutional protection of access to information. Norway (1970), Denmark (1985), Iceland (1996), Latvia (1998) and Germany (2005) adopted ATI laws.
