The European Commission is currently considering modifying regulation 1049/2001 which mandates public access to EU documents.  The changes being considered include modifying the section which requires public access for all documents to require only public access to legislative documents.  It would also change the definition of "document" so that only those documents which are officially recorded are required to be available to the public.  According to Statewatch, this proposal would significantly impair the ability of the European public to access EU documents.
