Although it can only be regretted that the Member States did not accept the Convention's proposal, which Parliament was strongly in favour of, that a genuinely separate Legislative Council should be created, it may be considered that the essential aspect of this proposal, which was that meetings should be held in public and that the Council's legislative work should be transparent, has been preserved.
Lai gan ar nožēlu jāatzīmē, ka dalībvalstis nepieņēma Konventa ierosinājumu, kuru arī ļoti atbalstīja Parlaments, par atsevišķas likumdošanas padomes izveidošanu, jo šī ierosinājuma svarīgākais aspekts ir tas, ka tad varētu rīkot atklātas sanāksmes un saglabāt Padomes likumdošanas darba pārskatāmību.
