"Transparency of political institutions is a prerequisite for legitimacy. It should be easy to scrutinise how decisions are made, what are the influences behind them and finally, how resources, i.e. taxpayers’ money, are allocated. Therefore, rules for lobbying are ultimately a question of legitimacy. I supported this report which establishes a common register for lobbyists (transparency register) between the European Parliament and Commission. The scope of the register covers many activities carried out with the objective of directly or indirectly influencing the policy formulation or implementation and decision-making processes of the European institutions. All organisations, irrespective of their legal status, engaged in activities falling under the scope of the register are expected to register. This agreement with the European Commission provides only for voluntary registration, even though lobbyists not included in the joint register will no longer be able to obtain a long-term access badge to the European Parliament. The next step will be to extend the joint register to all the EU institutions and to convince the Commission and Council to make it mandatory. We need clear rules to prevent people and organisations from influencing EU decision making in a non-transparent manner."@en1
