Access to information on the processing of electronic petitions
The Foundation challenged the National Environmental Guard’s refusal to disclose information on the receipt and processing of electronic petitions. In Decision No. 570/CA/2026-R of 12 October 2026, Oradea Court of Appeal allowed FEW’s appeal on points of law, quashed the judgment in its entirety and allowed the action in part, ordering GNM to disclose the information under points 1, 2.2, 5 and 7 of the request. The decision is final.

- Outcome recorded
- Appeal on points of law allowed and judgment quashed in its entirety. Determining the merits afresh, the Court allowed the action in part and ordered GNM to disclose the information under points 1, 2.2, 5 and 7 of request No. 7570/GM/04.08.2025. It dismissed the remainder of the action as unfounded and the application for a reference to the Court of Justice of the European Union for a preliminary ruling as inadmissible.
GNM’s obligation to disclose the message size limit policy (point 1), message templates or a formal description of the error message sent to the sender when the limit is exceeded (point 2.2), the internal procedure for handling electronic petitions (point 5) and the existence or absence of ‘silent’ filtering (point 7).
