"Madam President, within the framework of the competences shared between the EU and the Member States, the subsidiarity principle determines the conditions under which the Union can act on behalf of Member States. In addition to the areas falling within the exclusive competence of the EU, the subsidiarity principle is also held to cover, on the one hand, protection of the decision-making powers and activities of Member States, while, on the other hand, legitimising the involvement of the Union in cases where the aims of a particular activity cannot be satisfactorily achieved by the Member States. The national parliament involvement resulting from the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, and particularly Protocol No 2, forms the subject of the annual report submitted by the Commission. The report addresses the issue of whether the principles of subsidiarity are put into practice by institutions such as the European Commission, Parliament, the Council or the Committee of the Regions. It also addresses the subsidiarity mechanism of national parliaments, which was one of the anticipated innovations implemented through the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon. In my opinion, Mr Šefčovič, it is right to focus attention on certain initiatives that have provoked questions in the area of subsidiarity. The European Parliament has been defending the idea of the subsidiarity principle for many years now. Since 1 December 2009, Member States have had the opportunity to inform the President of the European Commission in a reasoned opinion that proposed legislation is not, in their opinion, compliant with the subsidiarity principle. I would therefore be interested, Mr Vice-President, to hear the Commission’s opinion as to what it has managed to do in this matter, and how it has handled the requests of the European Parliament."@en1
