Both ENDS
Both ENDS co-wrote a Joint CSO Submission on the Draft Revised Version of the EIB Transparency Policy to the EIB. The transparency policy does not adequately reflect key international standards and principles regarding transparency, as set out in the Global Transparency Initiative's Transparency Charter for International Financial Institutions.
The policy should meet the nine key principles as set out in the Global Transparency Initiative's Transparency Charter for International Financial Institutions, namely: 1) the right of access,; 2) automatic disclosure,; 3) access to decision-making; 4) the right to request information; 5) limited exceptions; 6) appeals; 7) whistleblower protection; 8) the promotion of freedom of information; and 9) regular review.
Meer dan 150 maatschappelijke organisaties, netwerken en groepen vanuit de hele wereld ondertekenden een brandbrief aan Directeur-Generaal van de WTO Roberto Azevedo met de oproep om de onderhandelingen stil te leggen totdat alle partijen weer in staat zijn om volwaardig deel te nemen - fysiek, niet online.
