86For those purposes, the public must have access not only to information on emissions as such, but also to information concerning the medium to long-term consequences of those emissions on the state of the environment, such as the effects of those emissions on non-targeted organisms. The public interest in accessing information on emissions into the environment is specifically to know not only what is, or foreseeably will be, released into the environment, but also, as the Advocate General stated in point 86 of her Opinion, to understand the way in which the environment could be affected by the emissions in question.
