Disclosure
In the context of CoST, disclosure means the release of material project information into the public domain. This means that in principle the information is available to any interested person (e.g. on a public website, in newspapers, etc) although in practice it may be difficult for some (e.g. those without internet access) to access it.
Disclosure of project information is a key element of CoST. The process of disclosure is likely to vary between countries depending on existing legislation (e.g. relating to procurement, public finance or freedom of information).
For that reason it isn’t possible to develop a ‘blueprint’ for disclosure. MSGs need to find an approach that works within their particular set of circumstances.
