The Council of the European Union has adopted conclusions calling for scientific publishing to be transparent and of high quality, with immediate and unrestricted open access for all.

These Council conclusions extend and further stress the conclusions on research assessment and the implementation of open science from its June 2022 meeting under the French presidency. They also align with the policies set out in the Second French Plan for Open Science. https://www.ouvrirlascience.fr/the-council-of-the-european-union-has-called-for-transparent-equitable-and-open-access-to-scholarly-publications/
