lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this European Parliament report because the right of inquiry is an important feature of the Parliament’s supervisory powers. This right is exercised in different ways by democratic parliaments throughout the world. A comparison of the different types of committees of inquiry existing within different Member States shows fairly significant differences regarding their set-up mechanisms, functioning and powers. Given the renewed institutional balance and differences across the European Union created by the Treaty of Lisbon and on the basis of the experience gained from the work of the European Parliament’s committees of inquiry, Decision 95/167/EC, Euratom, ECSC, which laid down the detailed provisions governing the exercise of the European Parliament’s right of inquiry, should be repealed and replaced by a new regulation. The aim of setting up a committee of inquiry is to put before the whole of Parliament a remedy for an illegal or unfair situation. The European Parliament’s functions in relation to political control are reinforced and extended, therefore, in accordance with both national parliamentary practice and the requirements under the Treaty on European Union, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community. The European Parliament’s committees of inquiry should be reinforced and should be granted specific, genuine and clearly delimited powers which are more in line with its political stature and competences, while respecting the principle of proportionality as set out in the Treaty on European Union."@en1
