"I voted in favour of this report because I feel that its timing is appropriate, given that both Parliament and the Council have equal powers in the ordinary legislative procedure and in the budget procedure. Taking into account the new institutional balance following the Lisbon Treaty’s entry into force, there is no longer any reason to continue with Council Question Time in its current form. The role of the European Parliament has been considerably enhanced, with it becoming a colegislator within the European Union. The Treaty has also led to the creation of new institutions such as the European Council and its permanent President, the High Representative and Eurogroup. In view of the recent development in interinstitutional relations, I believe that it is imperative for the European Parliament’s Rules of Procedure to be revised. However, I, too, support the view of the rapporteur, which is that the priority at the moment should be to amend Council Question Time. At the same time, I think that it is useful to retain the option to ask the Council questions during a set question time for matters relating to the Council’s responsibilities other than those linked to the exercise of its legislative and budgetary functions."@en1
