The Technical Control Inspection at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food was recognized as the winner of the 2012 Golden Key Award in the category for an institution which has most efficiently organized the provision of public information. The Inspection has progressed with almost 200 places forward in the 2013 Active Transparency Rating launched by AIP in March 2013. The institution has achieved high level of transparency and accountability with their updated web site. The institution discloses contracts on its web site and sets an example of uploading documents which have been requested more than once – an evidence for the analytical approach towards the implementation of the APIA and efforts to achieve greater transparency and accountability.
