Trilogues and transparent law-making
Event organised by the European Ombudsman, Emily O'Reilly
28 September 2015, 10.00 - 12.00
European Parliament, Brussels, room JAN 4Q1
The European Ombudsman, Emily O'Reilly, is currently inquiring into the issue of "trilogues" with a view to boosting transparent law-making in the EU. Hundreds of these informal negotiations between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission take place every year. Now an established feature of how the EU adopts laws, trilogues are where deals are done that affect EU citizens, businesses and organisations.
Parliament, Council and Commission have a Treaty obligation and an interest in legislating as openly as possible to maintain public trust. What is the right balance between the 'space to negotiate' and greater transparency?
The Ombudsman has asked the three institutions for information about their transparency policies as regards trilogue documents. She is expecting a reply in the autumn.
The Ombudsman would like to facilitate a debate about how trilogues could be made more transparent and where non-disclosure of documents needs to be maintained.

Europese burgers, bedrijven of instellingen kunnen een klacht over wanbeheer van een Europese instelling indienen bij de Europese Ombudsman. Deze stelt naar aanleiding van de klacht een onderzoek in. De meeste klachten betreffen onnodige vertraging bij procedures, weigering om informatie te verstrekken, discriminatie en machtsmisbruik. De Ombudsman kan ook op eigen initiatief een onderzoek instellen.
