"Madam President, can I start by thanking Mr Häfner for his work as rapporteur. I am very pleased to say that my group supports this agreement. This House has important work to do in holding the Commission and the Council to account. It is important that we ensure that taxpayers’ money is well spent and that the laws and policy of the EU are carried out as they should be, in an open and transparent manner. This agreement with the Council is of a broadly similar nature to the one that already exists with the Commission, and I welcome that.
We have to balance the need for transparency with the legitimate right of nation states to the confidentiality of some documents, and I believe that this agreement achieves that balance, so I am very pleased to support the report. I think it will lead to better governance of the European Union."@en1
