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.

RT @EUombudsman: We have asked @EU_Commission 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.

Access to documents and transparency is vital for a healthy democracy. The rapid rise of the European Union as a political powerhouse should be accompanied by more robust public scrutiny and accountability. Compliments to @EUombudsman for the important work it does in this area.
