"Let us begin with the assumption, as stated in the report, that the ‘transparency of political institutions is a prerequisite for legitimacy
It should be easy to scrutinise how decisions are made, what are the influences behind them and finally, how resources […] are allocated’. The institutions’ transparency and the clarity of their representatives’ actions should be an intrinsic element of real and genuine democracy.
Unfortunately, we know that there is sometimes a great difference between the nice-sounding words that are said and what is done. Parliament was the first European institution to broach the subject of the increasing number of lobbies at European level, having launched the register for representatives of interest groups in 1996.
The Commission later also began initiatives in this area, and a working group was established in 2008 between Parliament and the Commission. In 2009, the group approved a joint declaration and a proposal for a common code of conduct.
In 2010, a new working group approved a draft agreement for the establishment of a ‘transparency register’ which ensures the widest possible participation of all categories of operator, while respecting their different or specific identities. It is important to monitor the practical results of this."@en1
