By way of a Woo request you can ask the DTenV to disclose certain information. Woo is the Dutch abbreviation of the Open Government Act (in Dutch: Wet open overheid or Woo).
A Woo request must meet these requirements:
- Clear description of the information you want to receive.
- The information you want can be found in existing documents. Examples of documents include letters, reports, memos and email messages.
- The DTenV has the requested information.
- The information is about our policy, or the preparation or execution of this policy.
Via the Woo-contactperson you can check if DTenV has the information you look for. Our Woo-contactperson is available via: woo@dtv.minvenj.nl.
Do you want to request documents from a personal file? Please contact info@dtv.minvenj.nl directly. This does not require a Woo request. See also the paragraph 'File-related questions' on the page Contact.
Consulting Woo requests
Is the decision on a request positive? Then you will receive the information you requested and the DTenV makes the (anonimised) information available to the public. Everyone can see the published information on the website of the government, unless individual files of persons, companies or organisations are involved.
