EU: ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS REGULATION:
Secretive talks on access rules (Wobbing.eu, link): "
Nicolai Wammen, minister of European affairs (Social Democrat) explains in a diplomatic language: ”Negotiations will be very difficult. There are very different positions in this case, both within the Council and the Parliament. As I see it the only way forward is to show a pragmatic and realistic approach. We are no having talks with all actors and we encourage forcefully to show flexibility and a will to compromise.” This might look lika an undramatic mumbo-jumbo talk. But the statement confirms that the presidency have had bilateral talks with all member states even before the formal discussions in the Council has begun."
