Ombudsman asks Council and Commission to publish more TTIP documents

The European Ombudsman, Emily O'Reilly, called on the Council of the European Union on the 31 July 2014 to publish the EU negotiating directives for the on-going Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations with the US. She has also proposed to the European Commission a range of practical measures to enable timely public access to TTIP documents, and to details of meetings with stakeholders. She opened investigations involving both institutions.
