"I voted in favour of this important resolution on public access to documents for the years 2009-2010. Currently, citizens are calling for more democracy, transparency, openness of institutions and of political actors and a stronger fight against corruption, therefore the opportunity to access documents and information is one of the ways to make sure citizens can be involved in the democratic process and that corruption is prevented and fought. It is important to highlight that, in order to guarantee the accountability and legitimacy of a democratic political system, citizens have a right to know how their representatives act once elected or appointed to public bodies or when representing the Member States at European or international level, how the decision-making process works (including documents, amendments, timetables, players involved, votes cast, and so on), and how public money is allocated and spent, and with what results. I therefore welcome this resolution and believe that the EU should stand at the forefront, providing a model of institutional transparency and modern democracy for the Member States as well as for third countries."@en1
