Abstract

In the midst of the holidays, the European Commission released the travel costs of the commissioners for the first two months of 2017. Though many will not see this, it is an important moment. Twenty years ago, the negotiators of the Amsterdam Treaty integrated transparency into the principles of the European Union. It was a difficult negotiation, which was finally positive partly thanks to the Northern countries.
