I voted in favour of amending Rule 70 of Parliament’s Rules of Procedure because Parliament is the representative body of all EU citizens and must be guided by the principle of democratic accountability.
Tripartite negotiations and procedures related to legislative documents must be made more effective, transparent and inclusive. The issue of interinstitutional negotiations and agreements is related to representative democracy at European level through openness and democratic responsibility. Voters must be able to learn what their elected representatives have said and how they have voted. Only in this way can voters make a decision at the next elections based on the actions of MEPs. According to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the functioning of the Union must be founded on representative democracy, and decisions must be taken as openly and as closely as possible to the citizen. Amending Rule 70 of the Rules of Procedure is a small but necessary step towards strengthening representative democracy at European level."@en1
