lpv:translated text	"I welcomed this report because transparency of political institutions is a prerequisite for legitimacy. It should be easy to scrutinise how decisions are made, what the influences behind them are and, finally, how resources, i.e. taxpayer’s money, are allocated. Therefore, rules for lobbying are ultimately a question of legitimacy. The result achieved corresponds to the objectives laid out by the Parliament in the most essential points. Firstly, although registration is not obligatory – which was the aim of Parliament – it can be considered obligatory de facto, because only registered interest group representatives are allowed permanent access to Parliament premises. Secondly, 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. Thirdly, the new mechanism provides additional information such as the number of individuals involved in all the activities relating to the register, and the level of EU resources received by the registrant. It will also provide clarifications regarding the eligible activities falling under the scope of the register, and the processes by which complaints will be handled. I believe that it was essential to adopt the draft agreement on the establishment of a transparency register. The common register will be a step forward towards greater transparency in the European institutions, which hopefully will help give the European project greater legitimacy in the eyes of its citizens."@en1
