"I fully endorse the decision to resubmit the same amendments as were adopted at first reading but rejected by the Council.
The aim of the proposal, which fits into the broader context of interinstitutional negotiations on the use of delegated acts for the financing of the Union’s external action, is in fact to protect Parliament’s prerogatives as laid down in the Treaty of Lisbon, while also ensuring effective control over the implementation of EU legislation.
The Council has shown its reluctance to accept that the procedure under Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union applies to the instruments in question. That not only demonstrates the Council’s unjustifiable refusal to grant Parliament its due role as colegislator in making strategic decisions on the management of financing instruments, but also ends up legitimising an unacceptable democratic deficit in the implementation of EU legislation. This refusal by the Council goes against the letter and the spirit of the Treaty of Lisbon.
I therefore believe that it is crucial to insist that the proposed amendments are accepted, for reasons of legal as well as political expediency, in order to strengthen Parliament’s role and ensure that it is placed on an equal footing with the Council in terms of respecting each other’s powers and the legislative changes introduced by the Treaty."@en1
