"Mr President, kalispera, the Group for a Europe of Democracies and Diversities would also like to welcome the Greek Presidency. Greece was the cradle of democracy. That means you have a special duty to give the EU a democratic overhaul.
This is our advice. Open up all meetings in which you debate laws. Make all the minutes from meetings available. Give the European Parliament and the national parliaments access to all papers from the Council’s working parties. Prepare complete registers of correspondence in the Council. Introduce public access to documents according to the principle of best practice among the countries. Place all agendas and minutes from the Council’s working parties on the Presidency’s web site. Give the Ombudsman a new statute, giving him or her access to everything for monitoring purposes. Give the Court of Auditors the access required for monitoring both the Commission and the organisations that use EU funds. Retain the rotating Presidency so that each country has six months in which to pull out all the stops. Keep the EU and the military separate and prepare reforms of agriculture, the structural funds and the budget so that we are ready to receive the new countries.
Also, let Greek hospitality be accompanied by efficient organisation so that we can follow the work on your as yet unfinished web site and are able in six months to say what a jolly good Presidency Greece’s was."@en1
