The submission fulfills the data characteristics. While the submitter initially stated that all characteristics were available, I was unable to locate votes and transcripts. While, as the submitter states, "it is possible to download each legislative act, However these systems don't provide bulk download of all legislative acts." Therefore the answer was changed to no. Furthermore, each draft usually has more than one document, each of which are separately downloadable in Word doc only. Regarding whether the data is openly licensed, the submitter states that "according to the Freedom of Information Law the information that is published by institutions providing state functions can be interpreted as "generally accessible information" that is compatible with Public domain approach. The law does not require for the institutions to publish declarations or licences with the information (they can be provided on voluntary basis)."
