We have asked @EUCouncil@twitter.com to give faster access to legislative documents.
This follows its decision to give access to Member States' opinions on the #DigitalMarketsAct – but over a year after the initial request, and after the end of negotiations.
.@EU_Commission@twitter.com has replied to our findings concerning an access request to text messages between @vonderleyen@twitter.com and the CEO of a pharma company about a #COVID19 vaccine contract.
Our initial analysis is that the reply is problematic on several points.
We regret @EUCouncil@twitter.com's continued refusal to grant wider access to a legal opinion on the EU-UK trade agreement after #Brexit, and confirm our finding of maladministration.

We welcome that @Frontex@twitter.com has followed our suggestions to improve the #accessibility of its complaints mechanism for potential victims of #fundamentalrights violations.

Following our inquiry, @EU_Commission@twitter.com granted greater #accesstodocuments related to medical masks distributed during #COVID19, but almost 2 years after first request. We confirm finding of maladministration - access delayed is access denied. #transparency

So what needs to change?
The 🇪🇺 administration should become more aware of how certain actions are perceived. This can help reduce problematic #RevolvingDoors cases.
This would benefit both the EU administration and the public.
Are there rules to prevent #RevolvingDoors?
EU rules range from temporary lobbying bans to forbidding officials from taking private sector posts if there is a strong conflict of interest risk.
The problem is they are not always enforced properly.
What's the issue with #RevolvingDoors?
Public officials moving to the private sector may take insider info with them or attempt to influence former colleagues. This can undermine the public's trust in the 🇪🇺 administration and its work.
