Agendas and documents debated in Trilogues Meetings ( from January 31st to March 1st ,2024)
(NB An identical request has been submitted to the Council of the European Union )
Dear European Parliament
According to news agencies several legislative Trilogues meetings took places between January 31st and March 1st, 2024.
However, no official information has yet been published by the co-legislator in their Registers of documents notwithstanding the provisions of art. 15.2 of TFEU, art 16.8 TEU and art. 11, 12 of Regulation 1049/01 and the relevant CJEU Jurisprudence (notably, Case T-540/15).
Bearing in mind that participative democracy, as promoted by the EU Treaties, is meaningful only if legislative transparency is granted by the co-legislator and preparatory documents are accessible in a timely manner (see Case T-163/21) as required also by art.15 of Regulation 1049/01 according to which “The institutions shall develop good administrative practices in order to facilitate the exercise of the right of access..” I therefore kindly ask to release as soon as possible, in the public domain, the meeting agendas and the legislative preparatory documents debated in Trilogues legislative meetings from January 31st and March 1st, 2024.
Thanks in advance for your attention
