Europa Transparant (Transparent Europe) is a new Non-Inscrits party from the Netherlands in the European Parliament. The founder of the party, Paul van Buitenen announced its establishment on 8 April 2004. In the European Parliament election, 2004, the party gained two seats, after a campaign that cost no more than four thousand euro. Van Buitenen and the number two on the list, Els de Groen who has written about corruption scandals in Eastern Europe, have joined the fraction Greens/European Free Alliance as independent members.The goal of this party is apolitical: they fight for a more open European government, against fraud, corruption and favoring of friends. Because this goal is very time-consuming they won't participate in the normal system of debates, reports, meetings, etc. The seats in the European Parliament give them the opportunity and power to gain access to confidential information.
The ultimate goal is to be able to disband themselves when they have made the European government transparent.
