In episode 192 of “Follow the Rechtsstaat”, Prof. Niko Härting and Dr Stefan Brink explore transparency and its limits.
First, they discuss the draft bill for the Distance Learning Protection Act and the proposed abolition of the state licensing requirement for training courses. They then turn their attention to a European Court of Justice ruling on the disclosure of personal shareholder data: when do comprehensive disclosure obligations conflict with the GDPR?
The final topic is freedom of information in academia. The two discuss what information publicly funded research owes to parliaments and citizens.
