".
I am one of those who consider that public access to the documents of the European Union institutions brings great benefits and, therefore, I support the rapporteur’s suggestions overall because they aim to perfect the means by which this access is put into practice. Thus I am pleased to see that analysis of the results of the first year of full implementation of the regulation on public access to documents shows that the European institutions are making a growing number of documents available to the public.
Public access to documents specifically narrows the gap between the European institutions and the citizens of the Member States, encouraging greater interest and understanding of the issues dealt with, and confers greater transparency on the work done by the institutions.
I realise, however, that the individual character of the Community institutions means that the extent of public availability of documents is not and cannot be the same in all the institutions. To see this, one just has to compare the nature of the Council, for instance, with that of Parliament.
In view of this, and even though, as I have mentioned, I consider public access to documents to be of the greatest importance, I voted against the motion, since I believe the rapporteur forgets my reservation when he proposes equal treatment for all the institutions without taking certain relevant specific details into account."@en1
