The inter-institutional agreement on the transparency register adopted in 2011 established a revision two years after its first application. This revision, undertaken by the Parliament and the Commission, has found that a mandatory register is needed in order to make policy making and implementation both more democratic and more transparent. The S&D Group therefore calls upon the Commission to make a proposal for a mandatory register and has proposed a series of incentives and clarifications both for the Commission and Parliament in order to encourage organisations to register.
