Aims and goals
The mission of the Expert Group on Information Law (EGIL) is to:
- Maintain a good awareness of legal issues that affect the provision and circulation of information, especially where libraries and archives are concerned;
- Address the European institutions by making suggestions regarding laws, or changes to laws that would improve the legal position of libraries and archives;
- Cooperate and work with other organizations and institutions for these purposes.
