"I am voting in favour of this report which emphasises the need to make the EU institutions more transparent by facilitating public access to Parliament, Council and Commission documents. Currently, the Treaty of Lisbon affords citizens the right to access documents of EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies (with limited exceptions for particularly sensitive documents). In practice, however, citizens face a cumbersome procedure with rules that are often unclear. The result is that a significant number of citizen document requests are refused, contributing to the sense the workings of the EU lack accountability and transparency. By addressing these shortcomings, we have an opportunity to reinforce EU efforts against corruption, whilst also encouraging citizens to become better informed about how it works, how public money is spent and how their representatives act."@en1
