"Mr President, I would also like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Martin, for the work he has done, and the Danish Presidency for its willingness to move forward at every stage of this report. We are well aware of the three very specific competences of traditional parliaments. They have a legislative function, a budgetary function and a control function, and one other that is more general but very important: political guidance. The control function enables parliaments to scrutinise and oversee the actions of the government and administration, to demand accountability and, lastly, to put political responsibility into practice, if need be, through both light mechanisms and more powerful mechanisms. The right to control includes committees of inquiry; therefore, the work we are currently trying to carry out amplifies the functions of this House, which has made a great deal of progress in the legislative sphere and in terms of legislative and budgetary competences, but which is lagging behind when it comes to supervision. Therefore, as we still have to go through a negotiating process after the vote, I would call on the Council and the Commission to join the rapporteur and Parliament in granting this House powers of inquiry."@en1
