This idea, which everyone obviously welcomes as such, was, however, the cause of heated discussions within some Member States that were anxious to protect their returns on the sale of geographical data, but also with regard to access to information, wanted to impose stricter restrictions than provided for in the Treaty of Aarhus.
Dit idee, dat iedereen als zodanig natuurlijk verwelkomt, bracht evenwel verhitte discussies op gang binnen sommige lidstaten die angstvallig die vergoedingen van de verkoop van geografische data wilden beschermen, maar ook strengere beperkingen inzake toegang tot informatie wilden opleggen dan het Verdrag van Aarhus bepaalt.
