1/5 🚨 European Commission slammed for breaching transparency laws 🚨

🔎 The European Ombudsperson has found that the Commission disregarded important transparency rules while preparing the #Europol Regulation, which is a part of the legislation to "counter migrant smuggling" ➡️ https://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/en/press-release/en/215989

The Ombudsperson's inquiry follows a complaint lodged by @edri and Platform for Undocumented Migrants (@PICUM) on behalf of the #ProtectNotSurveil coalition 👏🏾

European Commission building in the centre. It is surrounded by 4 people - 2 people in the top are looking at their phones, one looks distressed. 2 people at the bottom are security personnel. CCTV cameras surround the building.

2/5 ❌ The inquiry concluded that the Commission didn't provide enough evidence to justify the claims of "urgency" to bypass their own 'Better Regulation' rules, and skipping public consultations, thorough impact assessments and evidence gathering.
