Nuno Melo  (PPE ),
in writing.
(PT)
I fully support this new regulation, as it provides for increased legal certainty and better public access to European Union legal acts, stipulating that electronic publication will equate to valid publication in the
Official Journal of the European Union
. In fact, this text promotes better public access to European legislation, acknowledging the important role played today by new information technologies, including the Internet, in disseminating European law. This innovation also introduces significant savings, as well as reducing the European institutions’ environmental impact.
