Abstract

This paper examines the right of access to public documents and the challenges encountered in its implementation when it conflicts with the right to the protection of personal data, in order to present the relationship between rights. The research starts from the theoretical approach and interpretation of the right of access, with references to the constitutional text, the relevant legislation and the case law. The protection of personal data is presented afterwards, in an interpretative and practical context, before and after the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation) and the applicable Law 4624/2019 in the national legal order. Following a brief presentation of part of the activities of the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (opinions and decisions), an attempt is made to develop a methodology when the Public Administration is called upon, which at the same time is also a Data Controller, in the case where access to public documents may be limited, even excluded, from the existence of simple or sensitive data of a third party within the document
