Germany
The Joint Ministerial Gazette (GMBl) is the official publication of the Federal Government and is published by the Federal Ministry of the Interior. Almost all ministries publish their administrative regulations, ordinances, directives, decrees, orders, circulars and announcements in the GMBl.
The 2,700 issues have so far been published by the publishing house Wolters Kluwer, which has concluded an exclusive agreement with the Federal Ministry of the Interior for public access. The publisher charges 1.70 euros per eight pages or part thereof for individual copies of the documents. The publisher prohibits publication of the documents without paying the fee.
One association (FragDenStaat) now believes that there is another way, namely free access.
They are of the opinion that official documents of general interest belong in the public domain - not in the hands of private publishers.
