"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we welcome the adoption of this report, which seeks to implement one of the fundamental objectives of the Treaty of Lisbon: the creation of a new institutional framework to ensure transparency within the European institutions. With a view to creating an open, efficient and independent European administration, it is vital to guarantee European citizens a firm right of access to documents of EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of all kinds. Indeed, we regard transparency as an essential part of participatory democracy, being complementary to representative democracy, on which the functioning of the Union is based, allowing citizens to participate in decision-making and to exert public scrutiny, and thus ensuring the legitimacy of a democratic political system. We cannot remain insensitive to our citizens’ calls for more democracy, transparency, openness of institutions and of political actors, and for a stronger, more targeted fight against corruption."@en1
