Rejected petition Ensure Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty negotiations are not held in secret.

The EU has a history of carrying out negotiations in secret, this is unacceptable for Article 50.

More details

House of Lords Document 138 2016.
Secrecy in the EU councils is endemic, for example TTIP. In the case of the UK leaving the EU, it is too important for agreements on say, Fisheries, Farming, Ex-patriot standing and virtually all aspects of our community withdrawal to be kept secret from the Population of the UK.
