"I voted in favour of concluding an interinstitutional agreement between Parliament and the Council concerning the forwarding to and handling by Parliament of classified information held by the Council on matters other than those in the area of the common foreign and security policy. Transparency and access to all relevant documents and information form the basis of and are a compulsory precondition for democracy and, in particular, for enabling Parliament to do its work for Europe’s citizens, as provided for in the Treaties. The Lisbon Treaty reinforces the requirements of transparency and the rights of citizens to participate in EU decision making, while limitations on the right of Parliament and its Members to share relevant information with the public must occur in clearly specified and justified exceptional cases.
The rules on classifying and declassifying EU documents should be laid down by means of regulations adopted by Parliament and the Council. We think that the interinstitutional agreement concerning the forwarding to and handling by Parliament of classified information held by the Council on matters other than those in the area of the common foreign and security policy is an essential instrument enabling Parliament to fully exercise its powers and functions."@en1
