The EU paradox - The Problems about the European Union.

Despite the fact that the media, misknowledgement and politician critics are rather not helping enough to harmonise the EU  for improving the lives of the european citizens, trade and job creation and infact contributes to world peace. Yet i still believe that the majority of EU citizens are having problems in getting access to vital informations. The European Ombudsman's report for 2008 says that 36% of citizens' complaints relate to transparency and access to documents. But at the same time, most users of the EU's access rules are businesses rather than journalists, civil society organisations or members of the public. It is also of great concern that the debate about the revision of the access rules is itself inaccessible to the public. The legislative process is extremely complex and very difficult for citizens to follow, the Commission does not disclose legal advice nor is it possible to get information about the positions taken by member states in preparing draft legislation; trying to follow the process involves a maze of websites which could only be fully understood by dedicated experts. There is no reason that the legislative process at the EU should be less transparent than it is in member states.
