"I voted in favour of the report by my French colleague from the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), Alain Lamassoure, reaffirming the new balance between the institutions for Parliament’s benefit following the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. As you know, Parliament had become a true colegislator in the EU as its powers were on a par with those of the Council of Ministers in the ordinary legislative procedure and in the budget procedure. We, your representatives, are now on a truly equal footing with the ministers representing the national governments. Including Council Question Time on the agenda every part-session is therefore no longer legitimate. At the same time, however, as the report highlights, the Lisbon Treaty ‘created new institutions alongside governments: the European Council and its permanent President, the High Representative and the Eurogroup’. In my view, it is therefore appropriate not only that question hours with the Council of Ministers and with the President of the Commission should continue to be an option, but also that a process of this kind should be provided for with the President of the European Council, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and the President of the Eurogroup."@en1
