"Mr President, Mr Šefčovič, Mr President, my sincere congratulations on your election, which I was personally very pleased about. Mr Vice-President, my group and I believe that we urgently need to bring about cooperation on this issue between the national parliaments and the European Parliament. This cooperation, which is described in Article 9 of the Protocol, serves to ensure that we realise our respective responsibilities in respect of the administrations in question, for which each parliament has its own responsibility. The European Parliament is competent in certain fields, as we have agreed within the framework of the Treaty, as we have agreed in the agreement with the Commission and the Council in connection with the External Action Service with the Accountability Rule, with the competences for the budget and the right of budgetary control. Then there are questions that relate to military aspects and the use of armies, which fall within the competence of the national parliaments concerned. The national parliaments also have a role to play in supervising their national governments, by means of which they have an influence on European policy. There is no joint responsibility for joint supervision; rather, each party is responsible for its own area. However, in order to ensure that we do this correctly, we need cooperation, as part of which we keep each other informed so that we are all aware of what is necessary in order to duly perform our supervisory duties. We therefore need to make clear that this is only possible for the national parliaments under the auspices of an agreement pursuant to Article 9 of the Protocol and not under Article 10, as Article 10 concerns cooperation of the national parliaments with the participation of the European Parliament. What we are talking about here is cooperation between the national parliaments and the European Parliament. There is a considerable difference between the two concepts. I hope that we will be able to reach a reasonable agreement on this basis, as it has been stated in various resolutions – such as in the Gualtieri report, in my report, but also once again in this draft – so as, in this way, to judiciously establish the position of the European Parliament, which does want cooperation of this kind and sees it as urgent."@en1
