"I supported this report because I think that, just as the Treaty of Lisbon extended the colegislative powers of the European Parliament, we need to strengthen its resources to investigate alleged contraventions or maladministration in the implementation of EU law effectively.
While we would have liked to be even more ambitious, this text is the result of a compromise with a Council and a European Commission fearful of seeing Parliament transform its powers of a political nature into powers of a judicial nature, which certainly was not the intention.
However, this is an important step towards taking us beyond the 1995 decision, which has so far enabled the European Parliament to set up three committees of inquiry. These new powers will therefore lie, in particular, in a committee of inquiry being able to carry out any type of investigation and to obtain assistance from national authorities, if need be, so as to ensure that its conclusions are based exclusively on factual evidence. The introduction of the rule requiring Member States to sanction non-compliance with this regulation is also a step in the right direction."@en1
