We fully support new @Europarl_EN permanent scrutiny working group to monitor all aspects of @Frontex, including operations, internal management & transparency.

Its expanded role & duties require effective oversight and a platform to evaluate and discuss allegations & concerns.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) vr 29 jan 2021, 14:11

The European Commission has experienced first-hand why transparency matters, as it pushed for insight into the AstraZeneca contract. Then why is the Commission itself so obstinately secretive towards Parliament and journalists in almost all matters?

We are in a global pandemic and we need to make sure that the most vulnerable people are vaccinated first. That is why we need full transparency about the vaccine contracts, from both AstraZeneca and the @EU_Commission.

@IJzendoornV @MJSchiffers @AstraZeneca This contract is between @EU_Commission and @AstraZeneca. But yes the Dutch government should push for transparency.

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) wo 27 jan 2021, 09:57

Very detailed explanation by CEO of @AstraZeneca

Seems like they have nothing to hide..

What’s stopping you from making the contract public?

The @EU_Commission's @DejmekHack tells us that Brexit doesn't need to lead to a race to the bottom. The accord means the UK should stick to OECD standards on tax and can't move back on EU standards on transparency and exchange of information. Now it's all about implementation. ✅

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 21 jan 2021, 12:22

There is a gap. Between what citizens want and what politicians deliver. To bridge this gap we need transparency. Scrutiny and accountability are an essential part of democracy. Therefore, the resolution also calls for democratic standards to be obeyed. ✊[5/7]

How to create “European digital sovereignty” with a shady company like #Palantir??🤯

Asking for quick and full transparency on Palantir’s participation in #GaiaX from @vonderleyen @MargSchinas @ThierryBreton @YlvaJohansson 👇

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) ma 21 dec 2020, 16:07

Transparency is a right, not a commodity. @Frontex does not want any critical citizens looking over its shoulder. Making citizens pay for transparency is an unacceptable obstacle. Repugnant. I want proper answers from @Frontex 👇

Paul Tang (PvdA) ma 14 dec 2020, 11:46

Indeed big questions take time to answer. Are we going to stick to transparency without consequences or will we finally attempt to overhaul the system that led to a fight for our data and an implosion of our online privacy?

The stakes are high, but the measures inadequate. Imposing criteria on targeted advertising in election periods is much welcome, but the use of personalised advertising for disinformation won’t stop in non-election time if you only impose transparency requirements... @VeraJourova

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) do 3 dec 2020, 14:10

Happy to hear that the European data protection watchdog @EU_EDPB is now publishing the minutes of its meetings, following my request last year! More transparency = more trust😊

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 3 dec 2020, 12:59

CbC reporting requires multinationals to publish info on profits, costs and taxes in each country they operate. Currently they are only obliged to report global profits as a grouped sum. More transparency allows us to hold companies that shift profits to tax havens accountable 🔍

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 26 nov 2020, 11:21

Thousands of illegal (!) ads ran, of which many targeting people with dubious covid19 cures.

All despite the ex-ante check...

An obscure institution. But vital for tax fairness in Europe.

Its reform, with broader scope and more transparency & accountability, will be another blow to tax avoiding multinationals!

The energy transition is essentially a material transition:

from crude oil/gas ➡️ critical materials for a.o. batteries and sustainable hydrogen production.

+2Dear @YlvaJohansson transparency is an obligation for EU institutions. The costs of litigation are prohibitive for citizens and a deterrent to proper scrutiny of the institutions. What action will you take to resolve this?

Citizens should not be fined for requesting transparency. @Frontex is trying to deter citizens from requesting access to documents by making them pay the full costs of a legal challenge. Unacceptable. Transparency is part&parcel of democracy. We want answers from @EU_Commission👇

The @council is co-legislator, but it doesn’t apply the same standards of transparency as @Europarl_EN. In particular the “trilogue” method is a black box. Will you make proposals to make legislative negotiations open? Colleague @PDurandOfficiel asks @VeraJourova #EPhearings2019
