"The openness of European institutions and the transparency of their procedures are guarantees that civil society and the public in the Member States are not only kept informed, but are also an integral and informed part of their decision-making processes. Although people feel somewhat divorced from Europe, not least because the procedure that led to the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon was troubled, not always clear and often open to criticism, the European institutions must persist in and commit themselves wholeheartedly to making the greatest possible number of documents available in good time, thus helping to close the gap.
Nevertheless, I am bound to lament the fact that the need to improve the legal framework regulating document access has been used to take the populist stance of dismissing the real need for confidentiality on some procedures, documents and information. As such, in an agreement between all the left-leaning groups in Parliament, leaving the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) out in the cold, a vision is being enshrined that goes far beyond normal public access to the institutions’ documents; I cannot vote for that."@en1
