lpv:translated text	". In its resolution, the European Parliament, as usual, recommends increased power of codecision for itself. It would be good if the European Parliament showed just as much enthusiasm for discussing how to go about increasing participation in parliamentary elections to the European Parliament. In the 1999 election, the participation rate would have been below 40 per cent on average had some Member States not had compulsory voting and had national elections not taken place at the same time as this election. The enthusiasm that the European Parliament shows for increased power of codecision in the EU is not something that has a strong foundation amongst the electorate. The democratic debate in Europe today is based on the national parliamentary elections in each Member State. To create a more democratic EU the national parliaments must be given greater influence in the work of the EU."@en1
