It should be borne in mind that the purpose of Regulation 1049/2001 is to allow citizens to become more aware of how the EU public administration, which works on behalf of citizens, functions. As such, the Regulation's very aim is to allow access to various and divergent points of view. These include those points of view that do not reflect the institution's final position, but which enabled it to adopt that position. The Ombudsman underlines that revealing the various and divergent points of view is the very aim of the rules on public access to documents. It would be naive, even highly misleading, to try to make the public believe that, because the Commission acts as a college, there are no divergent views put forward during the process leading up to the final decision it takes. The principle of collegiality means that everyone agrees on a common approach. It does not mean that significant discussions did not take place to arrive at that common approach. The Ombudsman cannot see how it could undermine the collegiality of the final decision to reveal that different viewpoints were discussed in order to reach that decision.
