lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, today’s debate is really about a struggle between openness and secrecy. We are surprised at how much in terms of resources it is proposed should be allocated to this area, compared with how much the Commission has invested in turning the regulation on transparency into a reality. It is the lack of balance that surprises us. Naturally, the way in which the Commission interprets the regulation on transparency also surprises us. Parliament and the Commission do of course disagree about the Bavarian Lager case and about the way in which the Commission interprets the concept of data protection in that instance. That is why this issue is so difficult. As a Scandinavian citizen, I am also very disappointed at the fact that the Commission never refers to the supplementary clause, incorporated into Directive 95/46/EC on Sweden’s initiative and stating that account must always be taken of the public when processing personal data. I would also say to some of the participating MEPs here that there are forces in Sweden which believe that the law concerning personal data should be repealed. I myself have also had experience of not being able to obtain information from the Commission in terms specifically of the law on personal data when I wanted to know who had complained about my country to the Commission. I would also quote what our legal adviser said about why it may not perhaps be possible to publish the list of assistants, legal advisers and members of the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market on the Net. The reason was as follows: There is a Regulation No 45/2001 relating to the protection of personal data. It is doubtless possible to be called before the judge by the European Data Protection Supervisor who has very wide powers, greater even than those of the European Ombudsman. These are the facts. I hope that we shall support transparency and that, here in Parliament, we shall at least be able to question those proposed for the office in question."@en1
