Story: 'Deceptive' patent lobbying sparks calls for transparency

Transparency is part of the constitution in Finland and Sweden since 1666. "Julkisuusperiaate" in Finnish and "Offentlighetsprincipen" are designed to ensure transparency in government. If you look into the history around the necessity for such an article in the constitution, you will find some interesting parallels with today's political situation.

Maybe the next draft of the European Union's Constitution will have such an article. Many of the scandals, especially those created by the EC, could have been avoided with a little more daylight on the decision making process.

Great articles Ingrid, more like this please.
