Agendas and legislative preparatory documents (Trilogues meetings between January 9th and February, 20th,2026).

The request was partially successful.

(NB: this is the 24th request of disclosing trilogues documents since March23rd, 2023)
- 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 place between January 9th and February, 20th,2026.

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, T-163/21 and T-590/23).

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-163/2) I ask to disclose as soon as possible, in the public domain (eg.: on the Institution’s Register of documents and on the interinstitutional application EU LAW TRACKER -EULT), the meeting agendas and the legislative preparatory documents debated in Trilogues legislative meetings which took place between January 9th and February, 20th,2026.

Thanks in advance for your attention
