"As the author is not present, Question No 41 lapses.
Question No 42 by Patricia McKenna ():
Is the Commission aware of any Member State other than Ireland which has decided to discontinue the release of letters of formal notice or reasoned opinions from the European Commission? Given this decision, will the Commission itself release these documents on request? If not, why not? And if only under certain circumstances, what might these be?
Of particular concern to environmental groups in Ireland are the many cases where the Commission has determined in its reasoned opinion that directives have been infringed but has not taken any subsequent legal action. The details of the infringements are in these cases no longer part of a potential judicial process, wherefore they are not in need of confidential treatment. By releasing reasoned opinions, in particular when no subsequent legal action is taken, the Commission would ensure that citizens know that European law has been infringed, which in turn would help to reduce infringements in the future."@en1
