How can we increase transparency in the EU? Please do tell us.

  • Visibility Room

    11.00 - 11.45

Today is the day we listen! During this session we are not the one's explaining how it works, but you are. How can we increase transparency in the EU? Please do tell us. This is the opportunity to hear and discuss the views from different perspectives. Are we on the right track?

For instance, we think that transparency can be improved for a great deal by making existing information easy accessible to the public. On a daily basis Brussels produces large quantities of legislation and documents. Where can we find all these files? For this reason the European member states have committed themselves to establish a joint database.

We are looking for new ideas and to hear concerns. At the end of the sessions we want to take your recommendations back to the Ministry. Let's start the debate!

This session is led by Gabrielle Metz and Bert de Wilde from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands.
