"Mr President, my group, the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, supports greater transparency of European institutions and the ability to access as many documents as possible. Transparency is a general principle and one of the fundamental rights of citizens of the EU. In association with the right to proper administration, it is also an excellent method for its control. Documents relating to international agreements should also be available for public access. Therefore, I agree with the call for EU institutions to draw up clear rules governing freedom of information, based on current jurisprudence and treaties. Internet broadcasts of the work of Parliament at plenary level as well as committee meetings are good practice. Any restriction in access to documents in the process of being drawn up may be treated as a manifestation of blocking public access to information. As citizens’ representatives we should play a leading part in activities relating to the openness of our work and public access to it. That is why I support the resolution."@en1
