The body undertaking public duties controlling the data is entitled to charge a fee for making the copies – which fee shall be aligned to costs arising in connection with copying – of which the applicant must be notified before the request is processed.

The applicant must be notified of the large size of the document or document section of which a copy was requested, the fee charged, as well as options in which case copying is not needed to satisfy data requirements within a period of eight days following the receipt of the request. (5) The relevant legislation regulates cost items and the highest value of these taken into account when setting fee rates, as well as criteria to be applied to determine the large volume of the document of which a copy was requested. Section 30 (1) Should the document containing data of public interest also contain data that cannot be disclosed to the individual requesting the document, such data which cannot be disclosed must be made unrecognisable in the copy. (2) Data requests must be satisfied in a clear manner and in a mode and through the use of the technical instrument specified by the applicant, should the body controlling the data of public interest be easily able to do this.
