The Committee on Constitutional Affairs adopted the\nown-initiative report by Paulo RANGEL (EPP, PT) on the\nimplementation of the Treaty of Lisbon with respect to the European\nParliament.
\nLegitimacy and political accountability of the\nCommission: Members stressed that the\npotentialities for the strengthening of the European Unions\ndemocratic legitimacy provided by the Treaty of Lisbon should be\nfully implemented, inter alia through the designation of\ncandidates for the office of Commission President by the European\npolitical parties, thus further connecting the citizens\nvote to the election of the Commission President by the European\nParliament.
\nAll European political parties should appoint their\ncandidates for President of the Commission sufficiently in advance\nof the scheduled date for the European elections.
\nFurthermore, the way in which the Commission was\nformed should be re-considered with a view to reinforcing the\nCommissions democratic legitimacy. Members were of the\nopinion that the President-elect of the Commission should act\nmore autonomously in the process of selecting the other Members\nof the Commission. They requested that as many Members of the next\nCommission as possible be chosen from among elected Members of the\nEuropean Parliament.
\nThe European Council was asked to clarify, before\nthe elections, how it will take account of the elections to the\nEuropean Parliament and honour the citizens choice when\nputting forward a candidate for President of the\nCommission.
\nLegislative initiative and activity: Members emphasised that the Lisbon Treaty should\nensure that decision-making procedures were more transparent and\ndemocratic, by strengthening the role of the European Parliament\nand of the national parliaments. Furthermore, the drive for\nefficiency must not mean poorer quality of legislation or giving up\nParliaments own objectives.
\nThe committee was concerned about the problems that\nstill existed in applying the ordinary legislative procedure,\nespecially in the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy\n(CAP), the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and the Area of Freedom.\nIt underlined the importance of the Councils working methods\nbeing adapted so as to make it possible for Parliament\nrepresentatives to participate in some of its meetings when\nthis was duly justified under the principle of mutual sincere\ncooperation between the institutions.
\nThe committee warned against circumventing\nParliamentʼs right to legislate by including provisions\nwhich should be subject to the ordinary legislative procedure in\nproposals for Council acts, by using mere Commission guidelines or\nnon-applicable implementing or delegated acts or by failing to\npropose the legislation necessary for the implementation of the\nCommon Commercial Policy (CCP) or international trade and\ninvestment agreements.
\nWhilst understanding that delegated acts could be a\nflexible and effective tool, Members stressed the importance of\nthe choice between delegated acts and implementing acts from\nthe point of view of the respect of the Treaty requirements while\nsafeguarding the rule-making prerogatives of Parliament. They\nreiterated the request to the Commission and the Council to agree\nwith Parliament on the application of criteria for the use\nof Articles 290 and 291 TFEU, so that implementing acts were not\nused as a substitute for delegated acts. They urged the Commission\nto involve Parliament adequately in the preparatory phase of\nthe delegated acts.
\nInternational relations:\nthe report recalled that the Lisbon Treaty increased the role and\npowers of the European Parliament in the field of international\nagreements, which fell within the scope of ordinary legislative\nprocedures.
\nIt stressed the need to:
\n\n· \nensure that Parliament is informed in\nadvance by the Commission of its intention to launch an\ninternational negotiation, that it had a genuine opportunity to\nexpress an informed opinion on the negotiating mandates, and that\nits opinion was taken into account;
\n\n· \nconsider the participation of Members of the\nEuropean Parliament as observers in negotiations on\ninternational agreements;
\n\n· \nsee that Parliament was immediately, fully and\naccurately informed at all stages of the procedures for\nconcluding international agreements, including agreements concluded\nin the area of CFSP, and be given access to the Unions\nnegotiation texts.
\nThe report called for the adoption of a\nQuadripartite Memorandum of Understanding between the European\nParliament, the Council, the Commission and the EEAS on the\ncoherent and effective provision of information in the area of\nexternal relations.
\nConstitutional dynamic:\nMembers considered that one of the major challenges to the Lisbon\nTreatys constitutional framework was the risk of\nintergovernmentalism jeopardising the community\nmethod, thus weakening the role of Parliament and the\nCommission to the benefit of the institutions representing the\nMember States governments.
\nThey drew attention to the need to involve at an\nearlier stage not only Parliament but also the Council in the\npreparation of the Commissions annual work\nprogramme, and stressed the importance of ensuring there\nis realistic and reliable programming that could be effectively\nimplemented and provide the basis for interinstitutional\nplanning.
\nIn order to increase the political accountability of\nthe Commission to Parliament, a mid-term review to assess the\noverall fulfilment by the Commission of the announced mandate could\nbe envisaged.
\nThe European Parliament adopted, by 288 votes to 102\nwith 25 abstentions, a resolution on the implementation of the\nTreaty of Lisbon with respect to the European\nParliament.
\nLegitimacy and political\naccountability of the Commission: the resolution\nstressed the need to strengthen the\nCommissions democratic legitimacy, independence and political\nrole; whereby the Commission President will be elected by the\nEuropean Parliament.
\nMembers stressed that the potential for the\nstrengthening of the European Unions democratic legitimacy\nprovided by the Treaty of Lisbon should be fully implemented, inter\nalia through the designation of candidates for the office of\nCommission President by the European political parties. This\nwould further connect the citizens vote to the election of\nthe Commission President by the European Parliament.
\nIn this context, all European political parties should\nappoint their candidates for President of the Commission\nsufficiently in advance of the scheduled date for the European\nelections.
\nIn addition, the way in which the Commission is\nformed should be considered with a view to reinforcing the\ndemocratic legitimacy of this institution. The President-elect of\nthe Commission should act more autonomously in the process of\nselecting the other Members of the Commission. Members requested\nthat as many Members of the next Commission as possible be\nchosen from among elected Members of the European\nParliament.
\nThe European Council was called on to clarify, in a\ntimely manner and before the elections, how it will take account of\nthe elections to the European Parliament and honour the\ncitizens choice when putting forward a candidate for\nPresident of the Commission.
\nLegislative initiative and\nactivity:\nMembers are of the opinion that the Lisbon Treaty was intended as a step forward in\nensuring that decision-making procedures were more transparent\nand democratic by strengthening the role of the European\nParliament and of the national parliaments. The drive for\nefficiency must not mean poorer quality of legislation or giving up\nParliaments own objectives.
\nMembers remain concerned about the problems that\nstill exist in applying the ordinary legislative procedure,\nespecially in the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy\n(CAP), the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and the Area of Freedom,\nSecurity and Justice (Stockholm Programme). They\nunderlined the importance of adapting the Councils working\nmethods so as to make it possible for Parliament representatives to\nparticipate in some of its meetings when this is duly justified\nunder the principle of mutual sincere cooperation between\nthe institutions.
\nMoreover, Members warned against circumventing\nParliament's right to legislate by including provisions which\nshould be subject to the ordinary legislative procedure in\nproposals for Council acts, by using mere Commission guidelines or\nnon-applicable implementing or delegated acts or by failing to\npropose the legislation necessary for the implementation of the\nCommon Commercial Policy (CCP) or international trade and\ninvestment agreements.
\nThe resolution invited the Commission to make\nbetter use of the pre-legislative phase (in particular of the\nvaluable input collected on the basis of Green and White Papers)\nand to routinely inform the European Parliament of preparatory work\ncarried out by its services. Parliament, for its part, ought: to\ndevelop its autonomous structure for assessing the impact of any\nsubstantial changes to the original proposal submitted by the\nCommission; ii) strengthen its autonomous assessment of the impact\non fundamental rights of legislative proposals.
\nParliament requested that, at the next revision of the\nTreaties, Parliaments right of legislative initiative\nbe fully recognised by making it mandatory for the Commission to\nfollow up all requests submitted by Parliament under Article 225\nTFEU by presenting a legislative proposal within an appropriate\ntime limit.
\nWhile understanding that delegated acts can be\na flexible and effective tool; Members stressed the importance of\nthe choice between delegated acts and implementing acts from the\npoint of view of the respect of the Treaty requirements while\nsafeguarding the rule-making prerogatives of Parliament. They\nrequested that the Commission and the Council agree with Parliament\non the application of criteria so that implementing acts are\nnot used as a substitute for delegated acts. They urged the\nCommission to involve Parliament in the preparatory phase of the\ndelegated acts.
\nInternational relations:\nMembers recalled that the Lisbon Treaty increased the role and\npowers of the European Parliament in the field of international\nagreements which now increasingly fall within the scope of the\nordinary legislative procedure.
\nParliament emphasised the need:
\n\n· \nto ensure that Parliament is informed in\nadvance by the Commission of its intention to launch an\ninternational negotiation, that it has a genuine opportunity to\nexpress an informed opinion on the negotiating mandates, and that\nits opinion is taken into account;
\n\n· \nto consider the participation of Members as\nobservers in the negotiation of international\nagreements;
\n\n· \nthat Parliament be immediately, fully and\naccurately informed at all stages of the procedures for\nconcluding international agreements, including agreements concluded\nin the area of CFSP, and be given access to the Unions\nnegotiation texts.
\nThe resolution called for the adoption of a\nQuadripartite Memorandum of Understanding between the European\nParliament, the Council, the Commission and the EEAS on the\ncoherent and effective provision of information in the area of\nexternal relations.
\nConstitutional\ndynamic:\nMembers consider that one of the\nmajor challenges to the Lisbon Treatys constitutional\nframework is the risk of intergovernmentalism jeopardising the\ncommunity method, thus weakening the role of\nParliament and the Commission to the benefit of the institutions\nrepresenting the Member States governments.
\nThe resolution drew attention to the need to involve\nat an earlier stage not only Parliament but also the Council in the\npreparation of the Commissions annual work programme, and\nstressed the importance of ensuring there is realistic and\nreliable programming that can be effectively implemented and\nprovide the basis for interinstitutional planning.
\nFinally, Parliament pointed out that a proper\nlegislative and institutional system should be established in order\nto protect the values of the Union such as those listed in\nArticle 2 TEU.
\nThe Committee on Constitutional Affairs adopted the\nown-initiative report by Paulo RANGEL (EPP, PT) on the\nimplementation of the Treaty of Lisbon with respect to the European\nParliament.
\nLegitimacy and political accountability of the\nCommission: Members stressed that the\npotentialities for the strengthening of the European Unions\ndemocratic legitimacy provided by the Treaty of Lisbon should be\nfully implemented, inter alia through the designation of\ncandidates for the office of Commission President by the European\npolitical parties, thus further connecting the citizens\nvote to the election of the Commission President by the European\nParliament.
\nAll European political parties should appoint their\ncandidates for President of the Commission sufficiently in advance\nof the scheduled date for the European elections.
\nFurthermore, the way in which the Commission was\nformed should be re-considered with a view to reinforcing the\nCommissions democratic legitimacy. Members were of the\nopinion that the President-elect of the Commission should act\nmore autonomously in the process of selecting the other Members\nof the Commission. They requested that as many Members of the next\nCommission as possible be chosen from among elected Members of the\nEuropean Parliament.
\nThe European Council was asked to clarify, before\nthe elections, how it will take account of the elections to the\nEuropean Parliament and honour the citizens choice when\nputting forward a candidate for President of the\nCommission.

They\nreiterated the request to the Commission and the Council to agree\nwith Parliament on the application of criteria for the use\nof Articles 290 and 291 TFEU, so that implementing acts were not\nused as a substitute for delegated acts. They urged the Commission\nto involve Parliament adequately in the preparatory phase of\nthe delegated acts.
