Traduction de «Trilogue » (Anglais → Français) :

Commission-Member State-OCT trilogue

A fourth trilogue usually takes place between the two Conciliation meetings. This year, it is planned for 11 November. Additional trilogues can be called if necessary.

Points out that, while trilogues are important and effective, the procedures currently applicable to them give rise to concerns as regards the openness in the legislative procedure; calls on the institutions involved to ensure greater transparency of informal trilogues to strengthen democracy by allowing citizens to scrutinise the relevant information which has formed the basis of a legislative act, as stated by the Court of Justice of the European Union in the joined cases Sweden and Turco v Council, while ensuring adequate space to think for the co-legislators; calls on the EU institutions to increase reporting in the competent parli ...[+++]amentary committee on the state of play of trilogue negotiations; considers that where documents are created in the framework of trilogues, such as agendas, summaries of outcomes, minutes and general approaches in the Council, as available, such documents are related to legislative procedures and cannot, in principle, be treated differently from other legislative documents; takes the view that a list of trilogue meetings, and of such aforementioned documents, should be made directly accessible on Parliament’s website; recalls that the future interinstitutional agreement on better law-making includes a database on legislative files and, if adopted, would also address the appropriate handling of trilogues.

Deplores the fact that, owing to leaks of formal and informal trilogue documents, unequal access to documents, and therefore to the legislative process, is enjoyed by knowledgeable and well-connected interest groups; notes that document leaking would occur to a lesser extent if trilogue documents were published proactively on an easily accessible platform without delay.

Deplores the fact that citizens have no power to scrutinise trilogue negotiations; expresses concern about the abuses to which this legislative practice might lead, in particular with regard to the introduction of new elements of legislation during trilogues without a Commission proposal or Parliamentary amendment serving as a basis, by which means the ordinary legislative procedure, and public scrutiny, can be circumvented.
