European Parliament
Ramon Tremosa i Balcells  (ALDE ),
in writing.
– As a democrat, I have always said that more transparency means better democracy. I voted in favour of these amendments and this discharge because they tend in that direction. The Committee of the Regions has a long way to go, so it is our duty to protect it and give it more political power as an institution, strengthening its role as a third chamber to represent the European regions effectively at the heart of Europe. This will, at the same time, improve our policy making by promoting a ‘bottom up’ approach.
