"Madam President, public access to EU documents must be seen as the basic right of the citizens who elect EU bodies to access information on the work of the institutions that represent them.
I understand the approach of the Commission, which left in the legislative process the recast version of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, and supplemented it in March this year with a second draft introducing extended rights of public access to documents of all institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the Union under Article 15 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU. I see the approach taken by the Commission as an effort to achieve the desired changes more quickly. I agree with the comments formulated in the minority opinion under Article 52 paragraph 3 of the Rules of Procedure, as some of the amendments proposed in Mr Cashman’s report go somewhat beyond the necessary framework of information publication in achieving the necessary level of public control. I firmly believe that the good intentions of the Commission to expand public access to EU documents must be developed in a qualified way, and that we should not continue with counter-productive disputes over the publication of discrete information, which, for various reasons, is really not suitable for dissemination."@en1
