The Conference of Committee Chairs held an extensive exchange of views on negotiations in the context of the ordinary legislative procedure at its meeting of 19 October 2010. In his letter of 18 April, President Buzek informed Chair Casini about the outcome of that meeting and communicated the decision of the Conference according to which the Committee on Constitutional Affairs has been invited to review Rule 70 of the Rules of Procedure with a view to making the procedures more effective, more transparent and more inclusive through the incorporation of some key elements of the Code of conduct for negotiating in the context of the ordinary legislative procedures in the binding part of the Rules. The issue of interinstitutional negotiations and agreements in legislative procedures is linked – through the principles of openness and democratic accountability – to the cause of representative democracy at European level. Since the beginnings of parliamentary democracy, the public nature of debates and votes has been linked to democratic accountability: if voters are not able to know what their elected representatives have said and how they have voted, they will not be able to hold them to account at the next elections. In this context, the introduction of binding rules for negotiations in legislative procedures that increase openness, and thus accountability, would be a step towards strengthening representative democracy at European level."@en1
