In an interview with EurActiv, European Ombudsman Emily O’Reilly revealed that three-way talks between the major European institutions to broker deals on European Union's law - also know as trialogue meetings - face being investigated over their lack of transparency by the bloc’s maladministration watchdog. Ms O’Reilly said there were concerns over the opacity of the decision-making process when deals on proposed EU legislation are hammered out. Trialogues happen after the European Parliament and Council of the European Union agreed their respective positions on a pending piece of legislation. The series of negotiations, which the European Commission sits in on, work towards agreeing a final compromise text. Both Parliament and Council must agree an identical text before it becomes law. |
