lpv:translated text	"The Treaty of Lisbon has established a new balance between the institutions. This balance is based, among other things, on the principle that Parliament and the Council carry out their legislative and budgetary functions on an equal footing. The logical consequence of such an arrangement is the need to adapt Parliament’s Rules of Procedure to the Treaties. There is no doubt about the need to end Parliament’s current right to put questions to the Council which relate to these functions, since in these areas, the two institutions have equal powers and work in close cooperation. The procedure of successive readings and tabling amendments is a mechanism that replaces and strengthens the system of questions which keep a check on the Council. Continued operation of these rules would be an unnecessary duplication of legislative institutions. The proposed amendment of the Rules of Procedure also provides for Parliament to retain its powers to put specific questions to the Council on the Council’s policy-making and coordinating functions. This is the right solution. It protects Parliament from the Council having too much freedom in this area. It strengthens the democratic supervision of the Council by an institution which is an expression of the will of the EU’s citizens. In view of the wish to democratise the EU, an important part of which is to strengthen Parliament’s position as an institution, such changes should be adopted."@en1
