"Mrs Maij-Weggen’s report on public access to Parliament documents is an advance we cannot but support. We have, then, all voted in favour of ‘the lesser evil’ whereby a small advance towards more openness is better than nothing. The problem is everything that is not included. The main problem is that the Commission and the Council do not supply Parliament with documents from the phase during which legislation is prepared. That is unfortunate in as much as it is this phase in which people have an interest in participating so as to be able to influence the content of the legislation. A second problem is the division of MEPs into first and second class Members according to whether or not they have access to confidential information. Moreover, it is completely insane and contrary to every parliamentary tradition that Parliament’s Committee on Budgetary Control, the ombudsman and the EU’s own Court of Auditors are never in a position to check all the documents concerning the Commission’s discharge of its office."@en1
