#EULaw #Transparency #AccessToDocuments

Did you know? 💡

In our latest #ExternalisationBulletin, we 've published almost two dozen documents from the secretive Operational Coordination Mechanism for the External Dimension of Migration, #MOCADEM.

States use secrecy to protect their interests and avoid scrutiny–which inhibits civil society’s ability to meaningfully influence policy.

We're working to change this by increasing #AccessToDocuments.

Es wird offenbar vertreten, dass Art. 42 der #Grundrechtecharta, betreffend das "Recht auf Zugang zu Dokumenten" kein subjektives Recht verleiht sondern umsetzungsbedürftig ist. Das scheint mir ja sehr gewagt.

As part of our inquiry into #transparency of interactions with #tobacco lobbyists, we have asked @EU_Commission for additional info about:
