"Mr President, Mr Napolitano has hit the nail on the head on this issue. Competence in the legislative and budgetary fields, and in the area of national control, belongs to national parliaments. In the supranational context, these competences can only be exercised by a supranational parliament, whatever structure the Convention or the next Intergovernmental Conference may give to this body. Mr Napolitano has emphasised the importance of maintaining this difference in powers, and most importantly has underlined the real danger of certain powers bypassing the competence of the national parliaments, in the field of foreign affairs and within the third pillar, for example, which should not be entrusted to a supranational Parliament. There is another, much more subtle, way of eroding parliamentary power, which we are now considering, the so-called open method of coordination that is commitology, which is used, for example, in the Lamfalussy report, with few opportunities for parliamentary control, self-regulation or co-regulation. I believe that this is an issue that the Napolitano report has also highlighted and to which we should give our full attention."@en1
