"I fully support the decision we have made today on the conclusion of an interinstitutional agreement between the European Parliament and the Commission on a common transparency register.
Parliament has kept a register of interest groups since 1996 and should be an example for other institutions in this regard. The European Commission did not create its register of lobbyists until 2008, and the Council of the European Union still does not have one. The decision taken in the European Parliament will combine the registers of lobbyists and interest groups currently kept separately by the two abovementioned institutions. The process will lead to greater transparency and will, above all, simplify access to information, which will be kept in one place. Creating a common register is useful for lobbyists too, as they only need to register once. The decision also excludes social partners, churches, political parties and local and regional governments from the transparency register. In addition, interest groups will be recorded in the explanatory memorandum to the report or recommendation if they have obtained a meeting with a Member about a legislative dossier. In my opinion, this decision is an important step in increasing transparency and I am waiting impatiently for the EU Council to join the common register."@en1
