Association of Information Access Commissioners meeting communique

Key Points:

Association of Information Access Commissioners meeting communique
Communiqué of the Association of Information Access Commissioners of Australia and New Zealand (AIAC) meeting held on 7 to 8 December 2022 in Wellington, New Zealand
The Association of Information Access Commissioners (AIAC) met in Wellington, New Zealand, on 7 to 8 December, for its second meeting of 2022, hosted by New Zealand’s Chief Ombudsman, Peter Boshier.
The AIAC is comprised of independent information commissioners and ombudsmen of Australia and New Zealand who have oversight responsibilities, under their respective state and national jurisdictions, for access to government information laws.
The introduction of these first information access laws in 1982 was game-changing for both countries.
The right to access information has now further developed in some states and territories where information access laws have evolved to mandate the disclosure of some government-held information.

Refundamentals: How the FTC returns billions to consumers

So how do provisions like that translate into real help for real consumers?

Key Points:

So how do provisions like that translate into real help for real consumers?
Thats the subject of the FTC Bureau of Consumer Protections Office of Claims and Refunds Annual Report.
Covering the period between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the Report recaps how FTC cases resulted in orders that returned billions back to consumers.
How do we get checks to eligible consumers while outwitting fraudsters who may try to subvert our efforts?
In total, during the 12-month period covered by the Report, FTC cases resulted in more than $6.4 billion in refunds for consumers.
In other cases, the FTC sent money directly to consumers.
Second, what happens if theres money left over after a refund program or if there isnt enough to provide meaningful refunds to individual consumers?
In those instances, the FTC sends the money to the U.S. Treasury, where it goes into the General Fund.
In other words, we never forget that the money belongs to consumers, so were duty-bound to do our job carefully and efficiently.
And its not unusual for the FTC to ask a court to reinstate the full amount if it looks like defendants lied about their finances.

A strengthened enlargement policy is the EUs strongest geopolitical tool

Key Points:

A strengthened enlargement policy is the EUs strongest geopolitical tool
- No alternatives should replace enlargement
- Reform the decision-making process on accession and advance with accession negotiations by qualified majority instead of unanimity
- Accession negotiations should be concluded by 2030
MEPs call on the EU to overcome the status quo and reenergise the enlargement process both among member states and in applicant countries.
In light of the growing Russian threat to European peace and stability, an enhanced enlargement policy remains the strongest geopolitical tool at the EUs disposal, MEPs argue in a recommendation adopted in plenary on Wednesday.
The Recommendation on the New EU Strategy for Enlargement adopted by MEPs urges the EU to make EU funding and its tangible results more visible in enlargement countries.
Quote
The rapporteur Tonino Picula (S&D, HR) said: This house has always been the most prominent supporter of enlargement.
