Definition
Definition
• Transparency
Transparency is the final outcome of a set of actions, procedures and
methods that make a decision making process, all its steps and elements
and the final result visible, (easy) understandable and retraceable for
everyone interested, from the initiation stage until the last point. This
requires generally accepted and accessible guidelines, rules and
regulations, a clear, observable and universally valid structure of the
process, permanent access to all information needed during the process
as well as the proper documentation and publication of the final decision
and the reasons behind. Transparency requires that there are no hidden
agendas or conditions in the process and that the process runs neutral,
independent, free of particular interests and influence from the outside.
