Failure to act on #RuleOfLaw, avoiding accountability, ignoring transparency obligations: contempt of Parliament is now evolving into downright confrontation @vonderleyen @EU_Commission @katka_cseh @moritzkoerner

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) vr 4 feb 2022, 10:33

Flawed argument by @DaliborRohac. Transparency is not an arbitrary political choice, but determined by law. The law of course does foresee exceptions, but not randomly, for reasons of political expediency. The grounds have been clearly defined and laid down in law and case law.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) vr 28 jan 2022, 10:21

Crystal clear verdict by @EUombudsman: text messages not exempt from EU transparency rules. @Europarl_EN @EP_President as has a duty to publicly hold @vonderleyen to account about deletion of sms exchange with Pfizer boss #DeleteGate

If “Members of the Board have not met with *any* external stakeholders”, then 1) what is the 26/11 entry, 2) why have we not received any info/docs on it 3) why was the transparency register entry changed and 4) what does that say about other meetings/omissions? (2/3)

Lara Wolters (PvdA) do 27 jan 2022, 11:49

Update! The Regulatory Scrutiny Board said it hadn’t met *any* stakeholders on sustainable corporate governance proposal. We know that to be false and want explanation. But not only was a French Biz mtng omitted so far, now the transparency register has been tinkered with! (1/3)

Our wins:
✅ It's no longer up to platforms alone what gets taken offline.
✅Mandatory transparency of how their algorithms work.
✅A ban on endless cookie choices and manipulative designs
✅A ban on collecting data on our political preferences, sexuality or health for ads. (2/3)

Congratulations to our newly elected President @RobertaMetsola 💐👏 Looking forward to working with you for strong European parliamentary democracy, accountability and transparency!

+1Little bombshell: @vonderleyen considers all short messages exempt from transparency rules. They can therefore be systematically deleted 😵. I wonder if @EU_EDPS @EUombudsman share this interpretation of transparency regulations.

The proposal sets boundaries on algorithmic management by including:
👉 Transparency and consultation of platform workers on the algorithms that manage them.
👉 Prohibition of constant monitoring when endangering physical and mental health.

+1Tax justice starts with transparency.
The European Parliament fights for this inside the EU. We need access to all relevant sources to fight tax evasion and avoidance. Thanks @EP_President for acting upon request of @EP_Taxation and @EP_Economics

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) vr 12 nov 2021, 12:21

Transparency and accountability are crucial for a mature political union, and enable proper parliamentary scrutiny. @Europarl_EN should question @vonderleyen on this 👇case. The revision of the access to documents regulation must be done immediately (blocked since a decade)

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) vr 12 nov 2021, 11:31

Mass-erasure of emails does not live up to VDL’s transparency pledge.

EP gave her its confidence based on a number of such pledges. Confidence is not a blank cheque. We need a mid-term scrutiny debate in EP to see if the confidence is still warranted.

@FrancesHaugen Insights:

1⃣ Transparency of recommender algorithms is perfectly feasible. Thus not an unreasonable request for platforms at all.
2⃣ An opt-out option for users is not the magic solution against toxic algorithms. There are safer ways, but we shouldn't let Big Tech decide.

On transparency and reporting @FrancesHaugen replied: “We’re not asking for something unreasonable. This is something that Facebook can totally provide” and explained how after the first time, it becomes easy for platforms. 💡

Kim van Sparrentak (GroenLinks) ma 8 nov 2021, 20:12

I asked @FrancesHaugen today about tackling toxic recommender algorithms:
👉How can we give people more control over what they see online?
👉Whether detailed transparency of these algorithms is feasible? Because Big Tech and right wing politicians (falsely!) tell us it’s not...

Yet again @Frontex chooses to ignore directions. EP told Frontex in April to refrain from charging fees, but the 🇪🇺Agency just reinstated its demand.

Frontex should withdraw charges immediately and stop sanctioning civil society for seeking transparency.

Behind closed doors, ministers take decisions that affect us all. And no parliament - national or European - is able to exercise democratic scrutiny. We urgently need transparency and accountability on taxation.

➡️Paul Hondius (@OECDtax) spoke about upcoming work on the risk crypto-assets pose for tax transparency. Also, high earners can increasingly move their income to low tax jurisdiction. It should receive our full attention in order to make sure the rich pay their fair share.

First no transparency on contracts, now about @TRIPSwaiver discussions... So much protection for companies that make huge amounts of profit... It's kind of ugly.

Curious to see the contract...

How much will we pay per dose?

And did we prioritize international solidarity this time?👇

Will Pfizer share their knowledge?
Are we able to share our vaccines with other countries, as we please?

More transparency this time around please.
