lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to start by thanking the rapporteurs for an excellent piece of work. Increased openness will reduce bureaucracy and the opportunities for cheating and fraud and, at the same time, increase the legitimacy of the institutions among citizens. I will not get too bogged down in some of the details of the report – it is always possible to wish for more when it comes to details – but keep to the main principles. The basic principle of the proposal on our table now is that all documents must be made public. The exceptions are considerably fewer and clearer than those in the Commission's proposal. The general public is guaranteed the greatest possible access to documents and in the easiest possible way. The same thing applies to citizens in third countries. A register of all documents must be established. Requests for access will be handled quickly. Those countries which have better systems will not be adversely affected, but will be able to retain their systems. Furthermore, a report must be sent to Parliament every year so that we might continually follow up this action. I would also like to emphasise that all citizens must be guaranteed access to documents in as many forms as possible. In our group, we have also discussed the possibility that the visually impaired and those with other types of functional disability should be able to receive documents in a form other than written form. I would like to draw attention to the Internet and other possibilities which in the future may facilitate access to documents. I would like to conclude by saying that, in Parliament, we must be very unified in supporting this comprehensive proposal, because the problems do not lie with ourselves. It is now a matter of our producing a proposal and achieving a good result in our negotiations with the Council and the Commission. That is the most important thing, and that is the task we face."@en1
