Hi Julia: very interesting and promising! Here in Argentina we still dont have a Foia Law .
If you compile more acts like this from other countries please keep us posted or at least tell me off-list.
I´m VERY interested in following up this initiatives, we never loose hope.
best!

Asunto: [OpenSpending] DATA Act
Hey all,
As many of you may know, last week the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed<http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2014/04/28/data-act-clears-congress/> the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act, or DATA Act<http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/2061>, sending it to President Barack Obama for his signature.
The bill would: 1) Establish government-wide financial data standards; 2) Require the entire federal government to comply with the new standards; and 3) Ensure that more and better #opendata<https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/opendata> is published online.
It's something we here at Sunlight have been working on for years, and - while it's not perfect - we're thrilled to see Congress taking this big step for transparency.
Is anyone aware of any other legislation outside the US that compares to the DATA Act? I am planning to compile a list of relevant laws.
Thanks,
Julia
