Openness is an important principle on which the European Union is founded. Regulation 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents sets out a code for access to documents held by these institutions. It is the EU equivalent of the freedom of information regimes found in the UK and other states. The Commission has proposed a revision of this Regulation. This report highlights the extent to which the proposal would preclude disclosure both of documents submitted to courts in the course of litigation and documents arising in the course of investigations, even in the face of a strong public interest in disclosure. The Committee feels such an exclusion is, in principle, justified in respect of court documents where the court itself can make provision for disclosure. A controversial issue is how far confidentiality is required for formulating policy (particularly to ensure that policy makers receive frank and open advice) and for negotiating legislation. The report looks at the relevant provisions of the proposal, particularly in the light of recent judgments by the European Court of Justice, and highlights the differences in the approaches of the European Parliament and the Government. These documents should not be given absolute immunity from disclosure but should be protected subject to any overriding public interest. The Committee also concludes that the effect of the proposal to amend the rules on disclosure by the institutions of documents which they hold but which originate from Member States would significantly reduce the existing right of access.

This book, which takes account of legal developments until June 2012, describes in detail the EU law affecting the transparency of the institutions as well as the actual practice of the European Commission, the Council and the European Parliament. The relevant practice of other institutions and bodies is also considered. Among the topics covered are: the scope and extent of public access to documents under Regulation 1049/2001; the impact on public access of Regulation 1367/2006 (the ‘Aarhus Regulation’); the procedure for applying for public access; rules on classified information; data protection and public access; the openness of decision-making, the relationship of Regulation 1049/2001 and other rules on access to documents; the law pertaining to the Official Journal; other aspects of transparency of EU decision-making, such as languages, quality of drafting and the involvement of lobbyists; remedies in Court and before the Ombudsman. Fulfilling the clear need for a practical guide to the nuts and bolts of the law and practice on transparency in the EU's institutional system, this book is written for the practitioner and indeed any party with an interest in availing of his or her rights under EU law. It is the only legal resource that serves this function and does so with élan and a matchless clarity.

All litigants before the General Court of the EU (GC), the Court of Justice of the EU (ECJ) or indeed before any EU body or agency will need to have full access to the documents held by the European Union. Though the legislation regulating the field, Regulation 1049/2001, has been in force for some time, it is a complex field for all would-be litigants. In this book the authors, both experienced practitioners in the area, clearly set out the documentation, access requirements and processes. They include a helpful glossary of terms, tables and appendices setting out the relevant legislation. This will be the seminal text for all practitioners who need to access documentation held by the EU.

The third pillar of the European Union - Justice and Home Affairs - formalised the array of secret committees that had been established since the mid-1970s to coordinate the policies of the Member States on such issues as policing, immigration, asylum, drugs and terrorism. Yet the policies that were developed had fundamental implications for civil liberties and democratic rights. Both before and after the Maastricht Treaty the whole apparatus was outside the control of either national parliaments or the European Parliament, and was not within the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. However, the EU did adopt a procedure to apply for documents which opened the door for citizens to find out what had been decided. In this book Tony Bunyan analyses the emergence of this secret system and the challenges to it both through exposure and by campaigns to procure documents. Book jacket.

In the last 15 years, transparency has been one of the central themes in the European integration process. By providing more openness about its activities, the European Union tries to bring itself closer to its citizens. Transparency is considered one of the main methods to relieve the 'democratic deficit'. One way of increasing transparency is to grant citizens a right to access information. Another way is to actively publish information. Transparency is not an exclusive feature of European integration. On the contrary, inspiration for policies on access to information is mostly drawn from the sometimes longstanding experiences of the member states. Access to Information in the European Union provides for a detailed and useful overview of EC and member state legislation in the field of access to information, highlighting the similarities and differences between national legislation of different member states.
