"Last Wednesday, we voted for the revised framework agreement on relations between the European Parliament and the European Commission, a revision that sets, within this agreement, Parliament’s new powers resulting from the Treaty of Lisbon.
These new powers of the European Parliament are essential and represent a radical change in the European institutional procedure. Enhanced parliamentary control over the Commission, Parliament’s approval power for international agreements, Parliament’s participation in the Commission’s working programme, Parliament's participation in electing the President of the European Commission are so many crucial developments in the building of a more democratic European area.
What also appears fundamental to me are the additional guarantees that we are obtaining in terms of obligations to inform Parliament: we will have better access to confidential documents relating to international agreements and negotiations. The European Parliament must and should be involved in these ‘international procedures’, before and afterwards. This agreement therefore lays down a new balance for a more democratic European area and it is a good thing that all this is drawn up in an official agreement."@en1
