"I wish to explain why the Irish EPP delegation abstained from the vote on the Cashman report. The European Parliament is the most transparent of the EU institutions with agendas and legislative documents, including amendments, available online prior to any vote. The public has the right to follow committee and plenary proceedings in person. Plenary sessions and committees are also web-streamed, allowing all EU citizens and journalists to follow sessions live. Voting results are published, including details of which MEPs voted and how they voted in the case of roll-call votes. Decision-making in the European Parliament in the absence of a standing governing coalition (like most national parliamentary systems) requires a permanent search for possible compromises. This ‘space to think’ needs to be safeguarded to preserve the functioning of the EP’s system of compromise. The Cashman report confuses access to documents with administrative procedures and goes beyond the remit of its legal base. This also puts into question the interinstitutional agreement on the use of classified material. The Irish EPP delegation fully supports transparency but public access to documents must also meet legal requirements. In this regard, we do not feel the Cashman report is satisfactory."@en1
