Transparency Register<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Citizens can, and indeed should, expect the EU decision-making process to be as transparent and open as possible. The more open the process is, the easier it is to ensure balanced representation and avoid undue pressure and illegitimate or privileged access to information or to decision-makers. Transparency is also a key part of encouraging European citizens to participate more actively in the democratic life of the EU.\u00a0The transparency register has been set up to answer core questions such as what interests are being pursued, by whom and with what budgets. The system is operated jointly by the European Parliament and the European Commission.<\/p>\n

SolidarityNow<\/strong> joined the Transparency Register platform to contribute to its goals and vision.<\/p>\n
