"‘May we see the telephone directory?’ ‘Sorry, this has certainly not been classified information for two years, but you cannot be given it.’ ‘How many laws are there?’ ‘Sorry, we are not counting.’ ‘How many projects are you running?’ ‘We stopped counting when we reached 100 000.’ ‘How many committees are there?’ ‘Sorry, that is a secret.’ ‘Who takes part in the preparative meetings?’ ‘That is unfortunately something we do not know.’ ‘But you pay travel expenses, do you not?’ ‘Sorry, we do not know whom we pay these to.’ ‘May I see which laws are being negotiated with the twelve applicant countries, together with the screening reports?’ ‘Sorry.’ Those are the types of answer which we, who have been elected to monitor the Commission and the Council, have received. Like the Ombudsman, the Court of Auditors and the Committee on Budgetary Control, we are unable to obtain what ought to be available to elected representatives in all parliaments. On 3 December, the regulation on public access to documents came into force. We were right there with a renewed request to scrutinise the documentation, but the officials discovered that there was nothing to be made available on the basis of the new rules, either. We have asked for a complete list of committees and working parties and the members of these. We have asked for details of the enlargement negotiations and to see the declarations and statements associated with current laws. When we debated the regulation on public access to documents, Parliament’s rapporteurs expected us to be able to obtain that type of information in the future. I should therefore like to ask our rapporteurs if they will be involved in taking proceedings against the Commission if our renewed request for access to documents also fails in the end to produce a satisfactory answer."@en1
