Towards a more perfect Union

vie Ralf Grahn, I found this very interesting proposal by the organization Statewatch. The summarize in a very short and precise way concrete steps which can be taken to make the EU Institutions more accountable and transparent. All this steps can be taken without signing any new treaty.

They propose for example measures which would enhance the accessability for documents produced by the European Council and by the European Court of Justice. Those ruels are included in the Lisbon Treaty, but can be adopted immedialty.

Overal the document is to long to be summarized here. But it is really brilliant and adopting the draft resolutions which are appended would go a long way in changing the way the EU operates.

As I am writing this post I see that Julien Frisch has also posted about the proposal. Let me point out that much more is discussed then the Council. There are also important ideas how to change the drafting process of directives and much more. Read the whole thing!.
