"The right to have access to the documents held by Parliament, the Council and Commission is a fundamental right which all citizens and residents of the European Union have (in accordance with EU Treaty Articles 254 and 255).
However, I would like to highlight one aspect. I believe that publishing the European institutions’ working documents is only a first step because the majority of Europe’s citizens do not understand the procedures we use and will not know how to find the information they need. I agree in this respect with my fellow Member, who is proposing the creation of a single European access portal for all documents, with a structure which makes it easy for anyone to understand. This portal should present information in an accessible, simplified manner so that European citizens can use it without any problem. Such technical solutions definitely exist and I hope that the financial resources will be found for implementing this portal.
However, I voted against the report because, while the general framework is right, some of the features proposed by my fellow Member are unacceptable."@en1
