"I voted for the report on 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 Lisbon Treaty. Following the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the role of the European Parliament as colegislator in the European Union has become enhanced, with powers on a par with those of the Council in the ordinary legislative procedure and in the budget procedure. Given this new institutional balance, the Conference of Presidents took the view that there was no longer any reason to keep Council Question Time in its current form on the agenda of every part-session. Abolishing Council Question Time in its present form reflects the shift in the institutional balance referred to by the Conference of Presidents. I think that it would be useful to retain the option of putting questions to the Council, during a specific question time, on matters relating to responsibilities other than those linked to the exercise of its legislative and budgetary functions. Furthermore, the report does not exclude the option of carrying out an in-depth study at a later date on the changing relationships with the institutions representing national governments and any amendments to the Rules that would result from this."@en1
