The EU finally admit it openly:
The European Union does its dirty work behind closed doors and holds ordinary people in contempt. - "Trilogue" on e-cigs, anyone?
EU CHIEF: OUR WORK SHOULD NOT BE TRANSPARENT
Interestingly, this is the same woman who - in May 2014 - openly stated that the EU Commission manufactures evidence for any "regulation" that they wish to pass:
EU'S CHIEF SCIENTIFIC ADVISOR SAYS EUROCRATS TWIST EVIDENCE, DISTORT FACTS TO SUIT 'POLITICAL IMPERATIVE'
interesting....
Lie down with dogs and you will wake up with fleas, eh?
This 1st link may be interesting when we in Europe write to our government representatives before they incorporate that horrible TPD into national law.

EU CHIEF: OUR WORK SHOULD NOT BE TRANSPARENT
In what might be considered a major gaffe, the European Unions (EU) chief scientific adviser Anne Glover has just insisted her work should be not transparent and should be kept out of the public eye.
Her advice to the Commission chief is often on controversial topics such as global warming, genetically modified crops and nuclear power. You might assume these are important issues that deserve scrutiny, but the EU and Dr. Glover clearly disagree.
Technocracy is government by unelected so-called experts. As practised by the EU, technocracy is even less appealing than the absurd, undemocratic concept of a parliament with no power being dictated to by an elite, unbelted EU Commission.

EU'S CHIEF SCIENTIFIC ADVISOR SAYS EUROCRATS TWIST EVIDENCE, DISTORT FACTS TO SUIT 'POLITICAL IMPERATIVE'
The EUs chief scientific advisor has admitted that eurocrats twist the way scientific evidence is gathered in order to meet their political imperative.
Prof Anne Glover, appointed in 2011 to provide the European Commission with independent scientific advice, said in a speech in Brussels that political manoeuvring over evidence has reached into countless examples of EU policy, including on the safety of nanoparticles, the impact of biofuels on food prices and chemical substances with hormone-disrupting effects.
She said she found it difficult to disentangle the commissions evidence-gathering processes from what she calls the political imperative that is behind them.
According to Euractiv, Glover used a fictitious example: Lets imagine a Commissioner over the weekend thinks, Lets ban the use of credit cards in the EU because credit cards lead to personal debt. So that commissioner will come in on Monday morning and say to his or her Director General, Find me the evidence that demonstrates that this is the case.
