O'Reilly emphasized the necessity for the European Commission to enhance its accountability and transparency, particularly regarding which powers are influencing its decisions. She stated, "The Commission needs to be more accountable and more transparent about which powers are influencing it, and more open to hearing from all interested parties." This statement underscores her ongoing commitment to ensuring that governance within the EU is conducted transparently and with input from diverse stakeholders.
Discussing the recent inquiry into the Common Agricultural Policy, O'Reilly noted, "We will be inspecting the documents... and we will be interviewing the officials who are involved in that." She outlined the inquiry's focus on ensuring inclusive consultation in the decision-making process, specifically referencing complaints that only farming organizations were consulted, thereby potentially sidelining crucial perspectives from environmental protection groups.
