Workload of the Turkish FOI Council as of September 2007
I regularly obtain detailed statistics through the Turkish FOI Council (BEDK) on the behalf of my organization BilgiEdinmeHakki.Org. The below information was obtained in September 2007 following a right to information request I lodged on 28 August, 2007.
The detailed statistics obtained from the Council in September 2007 reveal the following:
➢ Total No. appeal applications to the Council between 24/05/2004 – 28/08/2007: 3,413
➢ Total Number of Council decisions: 3,205
➢ Total number of decision books: 81
➢ Number of decision books published: 28
➢ Number of unpublished decision books: 53
➢ Number of decisions published: 641 (20%)
➢ Number of unpublished decisions: 2564 (80%)
➢ Number of decisions cleared for publication but not yet published: 332
➢ Number of decision books cleared for publication but not yet published: 10
➢ Number of applications proceeded: 3,264
➢ Number of applications non-processed: 149
➢ Total Number of successful appeals: 1,210
➢ Total Number of partially successful appeals: 501
➢ Total number of rejected appeals: 1120
➢ Total number of appeals in which further review was necessary: 20
➢ Total number of appeal applications to be discussed by the Council: 208
As can be seen above, only 20% of the 3205 decisions of the Council were publicly made available as of September 2007 and no further decisions were published since March 2007.
Currently available decisions of the Turkish Council can be obtained (in Turkish I am afraid) through the BilgiEdinmeHakki.Org pages.
