Right to information
The general meeting and each individual member have a legally enforceable right to information towards the management of the association, if they can prove a legitimate interest (for example, to clarify whether they wish to submit a motion to the general meeting or to have access to the membership list for the purpose of convening an extraordinary general meeting). The association itself, on the other hand, has an interest in privacy and must comply with the provisions of data protection laws. This interest in privacy shall be weighed against members’ interest in disclosure and, depending on how much weight it has, the member will receive only partial or no information.
