lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank the rapporteur for his excellent work. I want to stress the vital importance of an ever more transparent administrative culture in the European Union if we are to gain the approval of its citizens. Obscurity leads to complete darkness, as we know. It is essential to simplify legislation. The public must be able to understand how this whole place works, and it is absolutely necessary to replace mind-boggling legal texts with something that is more streamlined, and I am in favour of that. It is unnecessary to regulate the details, as has been mentioned here. That is our disease. I would nevertheless like to make one additional amendment, which is already contained in this report. The Union supports the one-stop shop principle in all areas. According to this, people can always obtain the information and forms they need at one and the same point. As yet, however, the different institutions of the Union do not share a common website where the public could follow the progress of legislation. Discussions by Parliament, the Commission and the Council on legal issues and other projects should be accessible at one website address. The institutions at least need a common portal, like a one-stop shop, where all the necessary links can be found. The Commission and Parliament have become more transparent, but the Council has not. The Council is to have more power, which means more obscurity. This issue has to be addressed."@en1
