"Mr President, the right of inquiry is one of the standard rights of the various democratic parliaments around the world. The concern that legislators should obtain a true picture of the situation arises from the need for a proper legislative response to the social reality. The scope of the right of inquiry naturally relates to the political significance of the parliament in question and the European Parliament will gradually mature, a process to which the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty contributed significantly. Thanks to this right, the European Union has become more democratic as the institutional balance has shifted towards the European Parliament which directly represents the rights of European Union citizens. In my opinion, the expected draft regulation therefore seems appropriate in view of the new status of the European Parliament and the rights arising from the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union."@en1
