Natalija Glažar
Abstract
This paper reviews the most important developments in the field of archival service in the EU member states. It describes joint activities and projects, as well as proposals for the inclusion of archival and other cultural institutions in the framework of the Directive on the Re-Use of Public Sector Information by means of the obligations stipulated by the Slovenian Act on Access to Information of a Public Character. Also presented are the results of a statistical analysis of access to documents in archival reading rooms and on-line in the EU member states. The important role that national archives play in state administration and e-administration development is explained as well. The paper furthermore presents the proposal of the new General Data Protection Regulations intended to cover the sphere of archives. Finally, the paper describes the Council Regulation amending Regulation (EGS, Euratom) no. 354/83 regarding the depositing of historical archives of institutions at the European University Institute in Florence.
