lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I have some interesting information to share: we recently put some parliamentary questions to the European External Action Service (EEAS), the Council, the Commission and a written question to the Secretary-General of this House. The aim was to find out how many classified documents are in circulation in the European Union. The results were as follows. The Commission gave us no information about this at all, arguing that the administrative outlay involved would be too great. At this point, once again, I will thus make my appeal to the Commission to please publish the figures relating to the number of classified documents. At the Council, there was an astonishing amount of transparency: we were provided with a list, broken down by level of classification, of how many documents the Council worked on. Hats off to the Council for that. When it comes to the EEAS, the answer was relatively mixed. As far as the legal basis in relation to the exchange with Parliament is concerned, we should look into this again and work on it. The result when it comes to this House itself was also very interesting. The answer we received was that, over recent years, only 10 documents classified as restricted have been handed over to Parliament. If you consider that there are more than 10 000 classified documents in the European Union’s network every year, we need to say very clearly at this point that the European Parliament is evidently being excluded from the information flow of classified documents, and that is certainly incompatible with Parliament’s supervisory role. I will conclude by arguing that it would be useful for the individual institutions to also publish on their websites the number of classified documents that they work on so that people could get a picture of whether or not that number was rising. They could potentially also include other information."@en1
