Agendas and legislative preparatory documents (Trilogues meetings between February 11th and March 22nd, 2025.
(NB An identical request has been submitted to the Council of the European Union)
Dear Council of the European Union
According to news agencies several legislative Trilogues meetings took place between February 11th and March 22nd, 2025.
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 granted by art 10.3 and 11 TEU, 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 disclose as soon as possible, in the public domain, the meeting agendas and the legislative preparatory documents debated in Trilogues legislative meetings between February 11th and March 22nd, 2025.
Thanks in advance for your attention
