Article 5 – paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. In the area of trade, the Lisbon Treaty empowers the European Parliament to act as a co-legislator with the Council. Consequently, the European Parliament should be involved in the trade-related aspects of foreign and security policy in order to ensure democratic legitimacy and to exercise scrutiny over the Union's external action. The EEAS must ensure that the European Parliament has contact persons in EU delegations that deal with any trade-related aspect of the EU's external policy, so as to guarantee close cooperation with the European Parliament.
