| [Nettime-bold] EU decision on transparency |
On 3 May, the new regulations regarding transparency in the EU were adopted by the European Parliament. The result of the vote was: 400 for, 85 opposed to the decision. The decision has been critized by Ben Hayes on this mailinglist (Nettime). Hayes writes: (---) rather than having a positive effect on transparency, the new code (which was all but formally agreed in secret "trilogue" meetings between the Council, Commission and Parliament) seriously undermines existing rights of public access to documents.
