"Advantage should be taken of the opening up provided by the Treaty of Lisbon to get the message to the public that the EU institutions, bodies and agencies are ready to increase Union transparency to the level required by the new Treaty. Only by making European legislation and decision-making mechanisms more transparent will we successfully bring the EU closer to the public, so increasing the democratic legitimacy of the political system.
Adoption of this regulation will facilitate public access to documents processed by Union institutions, bodies and agencies, providing the opportunity to organise the various existing provisions more coherently and reasonably, with a view to making the European decision-making process more comprehensible. Unfortunately, an agreement still has not been reached, with disagreements ranging from the definition of ‘document’, to the extension of exceptions to document access, to personal data protection, and to the handling of classified documents. Yet this institutional deadlock shows the EU and its institutions in a very negative light, so I call on both colegislators to show signs of greater openness and sense of compromise for the benefit of the public, and of safeguarding their fundamental right of access to documents and participation in the political process."@en1
