EP report on the Regulation on public access to EU documents

Abstract:

This analysis assesses the major EP amendments, as adopted by the plenary on 11 March 2009, on the proposed new Regulation on access to documents

It concludes whether each of the major amendments should be :

supported or strongly supported - because they would either protect the current standards applying to the right of access to documents from the Commission's attempts to lower these standards, or because they would enhance that right further; or

opposed or strongly opposed - because they would either endorse the Commission's attempts to lower the current standards, or because they would reduce standards even further than the Commission proposes.
