Regulation on the revision of Regulation 1049/2001

This procedure addresses the stalled efforts to update Regulation 1049/2001, which governs the public's right to access documents held by EU institutions. It focuses on resolving the deadlock regarding how transparency rules are applied and how the administration handles information requests.

This affects citizens, journalists, and NGOs seeking transparency from EU institutions. Changes would impact how the European Parliament, Council, and Commission disclose internal documents and justify secrecy.
