It is established that ecological information shall be accessible to the public. Access to it shall not be limited unless it is qualified as a state secret by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
The above information shall be presented by federal, regional and municipal government bodies, as a rule, gratis to legal entities, individual entrepreneurs, public associations and non-profit organisations.
Under the Federal Law, federal, regional, and municipal executive government bodies, or organisations authorised by them, that possess environmental information, shall publish it openly in accordance with the rules established by the Government of the Russian Federation on official websites on the internet information and communication network or via government and municipal information systems.
