The most important piece of legislation in Greece during recent years regarding the transparency of government action is the “Clarity” program of Law 3861/2010, which introduced for the first time in Greece the obligation to publish all the decisions of government and all administrative entities on the Internet. It is one of the few legal instruments that require proactive publication of public information through electronic means. Moreover, with the Clarity program, the enforceability of any administrative act presupposes a previous announcement on the internet. That in itself is innovative at international level and marks a change in how technology affects the institutional regulatory practice.
Although, cl@rity was not designed with financial monitoring in mind, there are various decision types that include a lot of financial/economic metadata. Such decision types are: Expense, Budget, and Contract. This dataset has data from expenses.
