Did you know? 💡
In our latest #ExternalisationBulletin, we 've published almost two dozen documents from the secretive Operational Coordination Mechanism for the External Dimension of Migration, #MOCADEM.
States use secrecy to protect their interests and avoid scrutiny–which inhibits civil society’s ability to meaningfully influence policy.
We're working to change this by increasing #AccessToDocuments.

We have found maladministration in how @Frontex@twitter.com deals with #AccessToDocuments requests that it considers imprecise or that concern large amounts of docs. Frontex should stop suspending time-limits and rapidly ask for any needed clarifications.

We have asked @EU_Commission@twitter.com to urgently deal with systemic delays in dealing with #accesstodocuments requests.
When people ask the Commission for a review of the initial decision, deadlines are missed in 85% of cases.

We regret @Frontex@twitter.com’s continued refusal to simplify its #accesstodocuments process by allowing people to communicate with it by email. We confirm our earlier finding of maladministration.
We found @EU_Commission@twitter.com reasoning to not grant wider #accesstodocuments concerning EU #COVID19 recovery funds vague and inconsistent.
#NextGenEU is an unprecedented €800bn stimulus package and should be matched with high transparency standards.
Es wird offenbar vertreten, dass Art. 42 der #Grundrechtecharta, betreffend das "Recht auf Zugang zu Dokumenten" kein subjektives Recht verleiht sondern umsetzungsbedürftig ist. Das scheint mir ja sehr gewagt.
As part of our inquiry into #transparency of interactions with #tobacco lobbyists, we have asked @EU_Commission for additional info about:
- written records of meetings with lobbyists
- how it dealt with #accesstodocuments requests on this matter
