There was one other question that I was asked to raise by a constituent regarding observation of European Parliament elections. Ireland has signed up to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, OSCE, Copenhagen document of 1990. Some member states welcome both domestic and international observers. Is there any scope to encourage member states to open up their European Parliament elections to domestic and international observers? Has this issue been considered?
