lpv:spoken text	"We have already come a long way in opening the Council to the light of day, but we must go still further and I therefore welcome the thrust of this report. The Council used to deliberate all the time behind closed doors, with no right of public access to documents, and did not even publish the results of its votes, thereby making it impossible for national parliaments to see how the ministers representing their country voted. Over the last few years, that has changed significantly, thanks to pressure from the European Parliament. Now, the Council at least publishes the results of votes, grants access to most documents and, thanks to the initiative of the UK Presidency last year, deliberates on codecision legislation in public. It is now time to go further and to establish the principle that all the legislative activity of the Council should be in public, as it already is for the other chamber of the EU’s legislature, the Parliament."@en1
