Mandatory disclosure of public agreements (SVK) (original) (raw)
Mandatory disclosure of agreements instrument has been a relatively positive and successful instrument of public control of handling public funds through its more than five years history. However, a huge amount of data, frequent opacity of their connections, or the absence of machine-readable forms of contracts pose challenges for the control, which where partly addressed by non-governmental organizations. Programs of Open Government Partnership worldwide strengthen the emphasis on the participation and crowdsourcing in controling of contractual provisions, consultations of contract creation, especially the sector-standardised contracts, or feedback in contract execution, for instance by tracking the warranty and milestones of contracts with objects that allow the involvement of large amount of persons. There is a specific experience with some of these trends in Slovakia, which mainly calls for improved work with data and greater involvement of external users. The article proposes that legal academia participates through existing platforms on deeper categorization of contracts, following analyses of contracts as particular solutions of situations, and standards creation. Contracts with problematic content should be consequently subjected to the control by the non-governmental organizations and media.
