Transparency Principles should foster the transparency of the Federal Administration and thus boost public confidence in these state-run institutions. Consequently, any person may request inspection of official documents without having to prove any particular interest in doing so. The authorities may, however, refuse or limit access to official documents if special public or private interests warrant doing so.
