"Transparency of political institutions is a prerequisite for legitimacy. It should be easy to scrutinise how decisions are made, what the influences are behind them and how resources, i.e. taxpayer’s money, are allocated. Therefore, rules for lobbying are ultimately a question of legitimacy.
Parliament was the first European institution to address the phenomenon of an increasing number of interest groups at European level and, in particular, the consequences of this evolution for the legislative process. While registration is not obligatory, it can be considered as such ‘de facto’ because permanent access to Parliament’s premises is granted only to registered representatives. However, it is desirable for the future to achieve a system of registration that is obligatory ‘de jure’.
The common register ensures the widest participation of all categories of operators while respecting their different or specific identities. The new name – transparency register – makes it easier for non-commercial organisations to join the register. This will be a step forward towards greater transparency in the European institutions, and I hope it will contribute to giving the European project greater legitimacy among Europe’s citizens."@en1
