lpv:translated text	". The right of citizens to information and to participation has, for a long time, come up against the so-called right to secrecy, behind which the state authorities have been hiding. The progression of reforms to improve relations between the administration and users has made this practice an exception The divisions between ‘departments’ are gradually diminishing in the area of the environment as well. This development is, of course, welcome. That is why I support the Commission’s proposal for a directive of 19 January 2001 seeking to transpose into Community law the second pillar of the Aarhus Convention of 25 June 1998. This proposal is innovative, but it is down to the Member States to give the public effective opportunities to take part in the decision-making process. I would, however, like to express some reservations about the amendments of the Korhola report which go further than the Aarhus Convention and which confirm the opinion of the rapporteur himself. The MPF delegation believes, of course, that transparency of information and public participation in the decision-making process must be encouraged and well defined. This should not, however, create overly complicated procedures that would go against the objectives of the proposal. If excessively restrictive provisions are introduced, there is a risk that the whole process of access to information and decision-making could be impeded. The only thing we should do is transpose into Community law the provisions – which are wholly appropriate – of the Aarhus Convention in order to encourage the effective application of this convention."@en1
