Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.

 

There is a proposal that the Commission should legislate in public. What is our view on this? Points were made about transparency. The Commission and the Council are transparent in terms of decision making but many meetings take place in private. They are not paragons of virtue relative to our situation. The Praesidium and the Commission meet in private, rightly so. Will the Minister of State give us his observations on the proposal that the legislative aspects of the Commission be open to the public?
