Amendment 18 #
Recital 1 a (new)
(1a) The legal basis for this Regulation, Article 109 TFEU, provides only for consultation of Parliament, not for codecision in line with other areas of market integration and economic regulation further to the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. This democratic deficit cannot be tolerated in respect of proposals that concern the means of oversight by the Commission of decisions and acts by national and local elected authorities, in particular as regards services of general economic interest related to fundamental rights. This deficit should be corrected in any future Treaty change. The Commission blueprint for a deeper Economic and Monetary Union foresees proposals for a Treaty change by 2014. Such a proposal should include inter alia a specific proposal to transform non legislative acts adopted under article 109 into legislative acts adopted under the ordinary legislative procedure.
