"Transparency is one of the fundamental pillars of participatory democracy, being complementary to representative democracy, as access to documents and information is one of the ways to ensure public participation in the democratic process, as well as a way of preventing and combating corruption. The Treaty of Lisbon introduced a new constitutional framework of EU institutional transparency, with a view to an open, efficient and independent European administration, by establishing a firm fundamental right of access to documents of EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies. This means that any decisions denying access to documents must be based on clearly and strictly defined exceptions founded on sound arguments and reasonably explained. This report advocates the need to revise Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 in order to define precisely and narrow its exceptions and ensure that these exceptions do not undermine the transparency granted by the Treaties and the European Union Charter of Fundamental Human Rights. This revision should strengthen the right of access to documents. It also advocates the need to establish an appropriate balance between transparency and data protection. I voted for this report for the above reasons."@en1
