Traduction de «document transparent » (Français → Anglais) :

Notes that international agreements have binding force and an impact on EU legislation, and points to the need for negotiations to be transparent throughout the entire process, implying that the institutions should publish the negotiating mandate conferred on the EU negotiator without undermining the EU’s negotiating position; considers that documents related to international agreements should be public in principle, without prejudice to legitimate exceptions and without undermining the trust necessary between the parties concerned t ...[+++]o achieve effective negotiations; regrets that the Commission and the Council routinely classify all documents relating to negotiations, thereby limiting citizens’ access to information; maintains that the public should be given access to all relevant negotiating documents, including those already agreed on, with the exception of those which are considered sensitive, with a clear justification on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.

By the first ground of appeal, it is argued that the General Court misinterpreted the third indent of Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (‘the openness regulation’) by taking the view that the Commission, when it relies on the exception for investigations, may base its decision on a general presumption that access should be denied in an EU pilot procedure insofar as it constitutes a step which precedes the possible initiation of Treaty infringement proceedings, and that the Commission ...[+++] did not err in law in interpreting the above provision of the openness regulation as meaning that it could refuse a request for access to the requested documents in an EU pilot matter without examining the documents specifically and individually.

4. Where information or documentation to be submitted by economic operators is or appears to be incomplete or erroneous, or where specific documents are missing, contracting entities may, unless otherwise provided for by the national law implementing this Directive, request the economic operators concerned to submit, supplement, clarify or complete the relevant information or documentation within an appropriate time limit, provided that such requests are made in full compliance with the principles of equal treatment and transparency.

The General Court erred in law when it interpreted the third indent of Article 4(2) Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (1) (‘the Openness Regulation’) as meaning that all the documents relating to the case in the main proceedings are protected as a class of documents so that the institution may refuse access to all the documentary material concerning the infringement proceedings based on the general presumption according to which the disclosure of the information contained in such documents in principle undermines the protection of the purpose of investigations.

For reasons of transparency, and without prejudice to Decision ECB/2004/3 of 4 March 2004 on public access to European Central Bank documents (7), unsuccessful candidates and tenderers should be entitled to receive copies of all internal documents relating to the evaluation of their application or tender and, under certain conditions, copies of documents relating to the evaluation of the successful tender.

(6) In order to bring about greater openness, the ECB should grant access not only to documents drawn up by it, but also to documents received by it while at the same time preserving the right for the third parties concerned to express their positions with regard to access to documents originating from those parties.
