"(
) The European Union has reached a new phase with the adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon, which has introduced a new constitutional framework for EU institutional transparency, with a view to creating an open, efficient and independent European administration. By establishing an incontrovertible fundamental right of access to documents of EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, a participatory democracy enabling its citizens to participate in decision-making and to exercise public control, thereby guaranteeing the legitimacy of a democratic political system, is becoming a reality. Citizens may directly participate in the democratic process, monitor how public funds are spent, and also directly combat corruption, which is currently associated with a lack of transparency in mechanisms and secretiveness in institutions. The reality of everyday life remains prosaic, and therefore for the reasons mentioned above I fully support the requirements expressed in the report on access to documents whereby all EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies should act proactively and automatically make the budgets and lists of concluded public procurement contracts, in addition to documents on their activities, available to the general public on their websites. In particular, I would like to highlight the clear need to ensure transparency in the management of European funds, where it appears to be essential to systematically disclose the same categories of information on all beneficiaries of EU funds on a single website. Such behaviour will clearly strengthen public confidence in the actions of the European Union and the proper management of funds."@en1
