Big Decisions Through the Back Door

Politics in the EU seems to be about getting things done on the quiet and this is wrong.

The British Government asked the Commission to progress Montenegro’s entry into the European Union, but they did it in a meeting of fisheries ministers so that no-one would notice.

This is within the rules, but democratically wrong. Libertas will campaign tirelessly for more transparency in the way the Council operates, particularly when it discusses new laws and enlargement.
