lpv:translated text	"I have abstained in the vote on public access to the documents of the European Parliament, Council and Commission. The compromise drawn up under the Swedish Presidency means that the EU will, for the first time, have a principle of public access to official records; that accessibility of documents rather than secrecy will now be the general rule. From a Swedish perspective, I fear that the agreement reached between the EU’s three institutions will lead to a weakening of our principle of public access to official records and legislation dating back to the sixteenth century. This applies especially to Article 5 concerning the requirement of consultation with the EU authority concerned if a Swedish authority considers it unclear whether or not secrecy rules are applicable. In such a situation, I fear that Swedish authorities will practise self-censorship and will not wish to go against the instructions given by the EU authority, because they do not want to come into conflict with the European level. If so, the EU legislation on the principle of public access to official records would lead to a deterioration of the access to public documents in my home country of Sweden."@en1
