House of lords European Union Committee report. In March 2006 Statewatch obtained and put online the Conclusions of this G6 meeting - this prompted the Committee to carry out an inquiry. Tony Bunyan, Statewatch editor, told the Committee that:

"there is no formal requirement to publish an agenda or minutes, there is no system of access to documents, there is no process of public consultation or impact assessment, and the existence or activity of any working groups…is unclear [and] it is utterly lacking in the rudiments of accountability as understood at national or EU level."
