"The reform also increases the transparency of proceedings on requests for preliminary rulings. Without prejudice to the rules on access to documents laid down in regulation 1049/2001, which remains fully applicable, written submissions of the parties will be made public after the judgment, unless the party concerned objects to such publication. This will increase accountability and strengthen trust in the EU as well as in EU law, to the benefit of citizens and national judges."
