EP Rules of procedure: specific provisions for public access to the European Parliament's documents

The European Parliament adopted the report by Mrs Hanja MAIJ-WEGGEN (EPP/ED, NL). Essentially, the Parliament agrees with the position expressed by the decision of the committee responsible (please refer to the previous text). However, it also insisted on some specific points: - that consideration by the committee responsible of requests for waiver of immunity shall always take place in camera; - that the categories of documents which are directly accessible shall be set out in a list adopted by the Parliament; - that Parliament documents which are not directly accessible through the register shall be available in written form; - where the confidential nature of documents received by the Parliament is questioned by one of the institutions, that matter shall be referred to the interinstitutional committee to be created.�
