"More than 1 700 organisations have been accredited as interest groups at the European Parliament, and 3 900 at the Commission. These organisations have been listed to date in two different registers, one for each institution. In 2008, Parliament had called for these records to be merged so as to facilitate record-keeping. An institutional agreement was reached between Parliament and the Commission with the aim of setting up a common register. This agreement was awaiting validation and was put to the vote in the European legislative assembly. I voted in favour of this text because it will enable greater transparency in respect of the actions of interest groups. It is true that under this text, it is not mandatory to be listed on this register but Parliament will require such registration for any organisation that wishes to use its premises. The text also proposes introducing a ‘legislative fingerprint’ for lobbying, by recording in an annex to all legislative acts those interest groups that have played a role in drafting them. The common register is due to become available online in June."@en1
