"I voted in favour of Mr Leinen’s report and resolution for the following reasons. We are used to repeating that the European Parliament is the only European Union institution which is directly elected by the people. However, given that it is an institution elected by the people, in my opinion the European Parliament’s powers have until now been insufficient.
Therefore, I think that what we have adopted today, that is, Parliament’s new powers when applying the codecision procedure, new budget management powers, the new approval procedure, and new supervisory powers, is very important. I also think that the Treaty of Lisbon will strengthen the European Union’s democratic legitimacy, especially when increasing Parliament’s powers to apply the codecision procedure."@en1
