lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, most politicians across the political spectrum on the whole understand that it is important that the citizens who vote for us have access to documents from the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission. I would hope that we could extend that transparency, at times, to other elements of our decision-making process. While I understand there are times when we might be involved in delicate negotiations at which we might not want to reveal our negotiating positions, surely we should also be pushing for transparency at some of our meetings. Can you imagine if the Council deliberations on the EU budget were in public? Then politicians could answer their electors as to why, at a time of austerity, when governments and councils are seeking to tighten their belts and control spending, they have asked for more taxpayers’ money to be spent at EU level. Let them justify their decisions to the public."@en1
