"The Treaty of Lisbon, which has been in force since 1 December 2009, has increased the number of cases in which Parliament’s approval is needed to conclude international agreements. Air services agreements now fall into this category, as they cover an area to which the ordinary legislative procedure applies. Previously, it was only necessary to consult Parliament about these agreements. In view of this change, the Committee on Transport and Tourism has decided to draft an own-initiative report with the aim of setting out some general principles regarding how air agreements should be evaluated by Parliament in terms of substance, rather than being confronted with the final decision and merely being able to adopt or reject it. Parliament’s new powers, provided for in the Treaty of Lisbon, bring with them new responsibilities to ensure that Parliament and its competent committee are well informed about the preparation of the agreements to which it will subsequently be asked to give its consent. This implies a corresponding responsibility to monitor how negotiations are conducted more closely. The possibilities identified in this report, which I voted for, can be seen as forming a list of elements which can be adopted according to the particular circumstances of each agreement."@en1
