14: Policy-Building Networks
Make the European policy-building network more effective, open and transparent Other Information:
In order to open up the European policy-building network to new groups and inputs, it both has to be more effective in using
inputs and also more open and transparent so that new groups are able to participate. create networks within the European
institutions to coordinate public consultation across sectors and sustain an 'institutional memory' Connectivity in the European
public sphere can be improved by example using social tagging and book-marking, and Web 2.0 tools. Focus on tools that would
render existing formalised actors (so-called strong-publics) of policy networks more transparent and accessible. Improve the
functioning of the networking system for example through the use of „clearing houses‟ (such as in the Aarhus Convention Clearing
House for Environmental Information Management). Provide frameworks of incentives and support where appropriate. Link to and
build on PreLex since 2001 (Monitoring of the decision-making process between institutions)
