"Mr President, as draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on International Trade, I should like to point out that the changes introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon in the area of the common commercial policy contribute overall to the enhancement of its democratic legitimacy, transparency and efficacy of the Union’s external action. I would underline in particular the redefinition of the institutional balance within the Union with the promotion of the European Parliament to co­legislator for the purpose of defining the application framework of the common commercial policy. Parliament’s approval will also be required for all trade agreements concluded. However, I should like to highlight the imbalance between the internal and external competence of Parliament and in connection with the common commercial policy, given that the Treaty of Lisbon does not provide Parliament with the right to approve the mandate of the Commission to negotiate a trade agreement. Considering that Parliament is entitled nonetheless to lay down preconditions to its approval of the Union’s trade agreements, I consider an enhanced framework agreement to be necessary here for relations between Parliament and the European Commission. Finally, I should like to highlight the need for more intense dialogue between the European Parliament and the national parliaments, given that all the matters covered by the common commercial policy will come under the Union’s sole jurisdiction. All trade agreements will be agreements with the Union and there will no longer be any mixed agreements concluded by both the Union and the Member States."@en1
