". Following a short but intensive process in the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs, the European Parliament has accepted a compromise proposal that was negotiated by certain parliamentarians, the Council through the Swedish Presidency, and the Commission. We are aware that this is a difficult and sensitive area in a number of ways, for example because of the fact that it must be possible to classify certain documents and exempt them from public access and because of the fact that the rules for openness and public access vary widely between the Member States. However, we regret the way in which this matter has been dealt with in the committee, i.e. through a process that is not described in Parliament’s Rules of Procedure and has not previously been the practice. The result has been that a conciliation was negotiated between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission as early as during the first reading, without individual parliamentarians or the public being given opportunity to follow the process. This is remarkable for a matter that deals precisely with openness and public access. The Verts/ALE Group believes that the issue of openness deserved a longer discussion process in which the citizens of the EU could have followed the progress of the matter better."@en1
