政府信息免予公开范围的探讨

Research about Non-disclosure Scope of Government Information

《政府信息公开条例》(以下简称《条例》)的制定及实施对于建立透明政府和服务型政府有重要意义,是公民知情权实现的保证。无论在任何国家,政府信息公开的范围都不可能是无限度的,不公开作为一种例外情形是不可避免的。明确免予公开政府信息范围的方式是确立政府信息公开范围的重要方法。我国的《条例》及相关法律规范未能有效划清免于公开政府信息的范围,通过确立"以公开为原则,不公开为例外"的基本原则、厘清法定免于公开信息的范围和增加过程信息为免予公开政府信息范围的方式,保证政府信息公开制度有序进行,实现最大范围的公民知情权。

The formulation and implement of Regulation of the People’s Republic of China on the Disclosure of Government Information( hereinafter referred to as Regulations) is of the most importance for building transparent government and service-oriented government,which provides guarantee for realizing the right to know of citizens. In any country,the scope of government information disclosure is never unlimited. Non-disclosure information is inevitable. It is an important approach to confirm the scope of non-disclosure information in order to determine the scope of information disclosure. The Regulations and its related laws and regulations fail to divide the definite group of government information. By establishing the basic principle of presumed disclosure,confirming the non-disclosure scope of government and addition process information into non-disclosure information scope,it helps governments to conduct information works more smoothly and realize the citizen right to know in a larger extent.
