<div dir="ltr"><div>HI,<br><br></div>about the Transparency Register - you can indeed submit answers without being registered. Of course, having a registration is advisable in the long run if one plans to do more things with the EU, but it is not (yet) compulsory. <br>

<br>All the comments essentially agree, with only some small variations.
Since we don't have any serious splits of opinion, I think the idea of a
combined answer that represents this as the opinion of the Foundation makes sense. (Not clear to what extent we should also represent this as the opinion of Wikimedians - opinions welcome on that.)<br><br>With that goal in mind, I've drafted proposed answers to each question, which incorporate comments from (among others) Seb35, Deryck C., Sapfan, NaBUru38, Aktron, and Kaldari. <br>
<br></div><div>I think the best place to discuss individual answers is in the talk pages, so I'll start uploading those shortly.
