Improving transparency of the EU institutions

The European Parliament takes action to ensure transparency and democratic scrutiny of the EU institutions. In two reports adopted Tuesday, MEPs call for the Council to meet in public when it is acting as a legislator, and requests the Commission to revise existing rules and to table new legislation by the end of this year on ''the right of access'' to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents. http://www.europarl.eu.int/news/
