Denne idé, som alle selvfølgelig støtter, satte imidlertid ophidsede diskussioner i gang i nogle medlemsstater, som ængsteligt ønskede at beskytte deres gebyrer for salg af geografisk information, men også ville begrænse adgangen til information mere, end Århus-konventionen foreskriver.
This idea, which everyone obviously welcomes as such, was, however, the cause of heated discussions within some Member States that were anxious to protect their returns on the sale of geographical data, but also with regard to access to information, wanted to impose stricter restrictions than provided for in the Treaty of Aarhus.
