Government / Politics
Dutch term or phrase: inzagerecht
Example 1.

'Anders heeft een betrokkene recht op toegang tot de
elektronische vorm die het hem mogelijk maakt zelf een afdruk te maken. Het beluisteren van
opnames van telefoongesprekken kan ook onder het inzagerecht vallen.'

Example 2.

'Elke burger heeft inzagerecht in bestuursdocumenten die de provincie in haar bezit heeft.'

I was wondering if anyone had a nice (perfect?) translation for this term. I have 'right to inspection; right of scrutiny' so far, but, as usual, his Dutch original is so much more succinct.

Explanation:
in de tweede zin, dus met een lijdend voorwerp erbij, lijkt dit me een aardige vertaling (perfect, dat waag ik te betwijfelen).

right of access (in de context van documents en files uiteraard) googelt in elk geval veel beter dan right of inspection, en dat weer beter dan right *to* inspection. hetzelfde geldt voor zoekacties op EUR-Lex.
