EU institutions urged to adopt Ombudsman proposals for trilogue transparency

2018-11-13T09:46:11+01:00

Madrid, 14 July 2016 - European Ombudsman Emily O’Reilly today published key recommendations calling on the EU institutions to increase transparency of negotiations over future legislation, the EU’s traditionally secretive “trilogue” meetings. Access Info welcomed O’Reilly’s call for proactive publication of key information to shed light on this secretive part of the EU legislative process, noting that the EU treaties require openness in the legislative process. “It is high time the EU institutions act upon the fact trilogues are part of the EU legislative process and subject them to the same standards of transparency, public scrutiny, and participation as any

Post it-sized minutes of European Council meetings unacceptable says Access Info Europe

2018-11-13T10:04:01+01:00

Madrid, 8 July 2016 – Access Info Europe has denounced the European Council’s recurrent lack of detail in its record-keeping, something highlighted by the shockingly minimalist minutes of the 17-18 March 2016 European Council meeting during which the so-called EU-Turkey “agreement” was concluded. The minutes of this significant meeting on the refugee crisis, which produced a controversial solution – many experts have raised doubts about its conformity with EU and international law – are so brief that they fit into a post it: “Post it-size accounts of high-level decision making about vital human rights issues are entirely unacceptable,” commented Helen

El Diario.es | 23/06/2016 Spanish- Los programas electorales del Partido Popular, Partido Socialista, Podemos, Ciudadanos e Izquierda Unida son poco ambiciosos en participación y transparencia.

El País | 21/06/2016 Spanish - Los nombres y sueldos de los asesores eventuales del Gobierno en funciones de Mariano Rajoy vuelven a ser un secreto. Tras publicar la información de los contratados a dedo para asesorar a los distintos ministerios en 2012 y 2013 en virtud de la Ley de Transparencia, el Ejecutivo se niega ahora a divulgar quiénes son, dónde trabajan y cuánto cuestan al erario público.

2018-11-13T10:04:10+01:00

Madrid, 14 June 2016 - In the run-up to a second general election in less than a year, Spanish political parties are struggling to live up to their pro-transparency discourse as they offer voters weak transparency agendas for the coming legislative term. As campaigning for the 26 June elections swings into full gear, Access Info Europe is running a reality check on the state of transparency in Spain: what is being done, what isn’t, and what needs to be done to guarantee citizens’ right to know. Second election, halved commitments When at the beginning of the month the Access Info

Access Info also expressed concern that the Bank is likely to stop work on developing indicators that can be used to measure Sustainable Development Goal 16.10.2 on the right of access to information, something that other bodies such as UNESCO had been planning to rely on
