"The question put by Mr Sacrédeus is obviously of relevance. It is perhaps even more relevant in a Swedish Parliament than in this illustrious European Parliament. I have a lot of confidence in the Swedish authorities’ ability to make independent assessments of such issues. I think the risk of self-censorship is very slight.
Allow me just to emphasise that, in the Council’s view, the system we have had up until now regarding public access to documents is subordinate to the rules on which this Parliament has adopted a position and which it has actively helped to devise. We now have an Act covering all documents, and last year’s Solana decision, as it is known, is no longer valid. We have compulsory registers. We have a requirement for rapid assessments to be made of whether or not documents can be released. We have clearly defined provisions governing secrecy etc.
Thanks in large part to this Parliament, the EU’s institutions will therefore acquire much better and clearer rules governing transparency and accessibility."@en1
