"This report by Mr Lamassoure deals with amending the Rules of Procedure to take into account the changing relationships between the European Parliament and the institutions representing the national governments following the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, which significantly extended the legislative role of Parliament. However, with the creation of new institutions alongside governments, such as the European Council and its President, as well as the High Representative and the Eurogroup – institutions that have taken on growing political responsibilities – Parliament’s political influence has been effectively diminished, when the desired result is precisely the opposite. I voted in favour of this report because I agree with the rapporteur in the sense that, despite the Council and Parliament exercising their legislative and budgetary functions on an equal footing, Question Time to the Council must be kept because, according to the second sentence of Article 16(1) of the Treaty on European Union, the Council has policy-making and coordinating powers on which it must keep Parliament informed."@en1
