Commission CON-sultations | Corporate Europe Observatory
The European Commission has fallen far short of ensuring that its public
consultations are transparent, that privileged access is prevented,
that all those concerned are reached and that critical input is treated
seriously. We need real citizen empowerment and engagement in decision
making and decision makers that defend public-interest concerns against
the constant pressure from numerous, well-resourced commercial
lobbyists. This Commission, however, seems stubbornly determined to
further strengthen the deregulatory tide of 'Better Regulation', making
the 'competitiveness' of business the raison d'etre of all policy.
Regardless of the costs to people, planet and democracy. read our new
