Today, Commissioner for Trade Phil Hogan announced
his intention to further step up the European Commission's transparency
commitments by, among others, systematically reporting on the work of
all committees established under EU trade agreements.(...)
The new package of transparency measures includes also the publication of
- the Commission's decision authorising Member States to conduct bilateral investment negotiations,
- non-business sensitive summary records from the meetings of the Trade Defence Instruments Committee and
- Commission recommendations for negotiating directives, not only for preferential trade agreements, as this is already the case, but also for non-preferential ones. Commissioner Hogan also confirmed that the Commission's initiative to publish documents released under the Access to documents' Regulation will equally apply to trade-related documents.
The commitments that fall under the transparency package will come
into effect as of today and will apply to the relevant documents from
this day forward. (...)
