Download or read book The role of national parliaments in the European Union written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee and published by Stationery Office. This book was released on 2014-03-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report the European Union Committee calls for a greater role for national parliaments in EU decision-making, including the introduction of a 'Green Card' procedure to enable a group of national parliaments to work together to propose new EU legislation or amend existing European law. The report also says that national parliaments, working together, should have the right to require proposed EU legislation to be withdrawn or substantially amended. Greater cooperation between national parliaments and early engagement by national parliaments with the European Commission form key themes in the report. The report also calls for a strengthening of the existing 'Yellow Card' process which enables national parliaments to ask the European Commission to think again. The scope of Yellow Cards should be expanded to include proportionality concerns over measures that go beyond what is necessary to achieve EU treaty objectives. Other recommendations: need to avoid ever greater democratic deficit when closer eurozone integration and control of domestic economic policy of eurozone member states is directed by central EU institutions; give national parliaments a greater role in scrutinising proposals for 'Genuine Economic and Monetary Union' (GEMU); effective scrutiny of the EU by national parliaments is vital to ensuring there is legitimacy and accountability for actions of the EU; national parliaments should work more closely with the European Parliament including closer working between national parliamentary committees and European Parliament committees where appropriate; COSAC, the body which brings together EU committees of national parliaments, can play a valuable role in sharing expertise.

Download or read book The European Parliament s Committees written by Richard Whitaker and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the development of the European Parliament’s (EP) committees and their relationship with national political parties in the light of the EP’s increased legislative role over the last three decades. The book argues that national parties have a greater incentive to care about what goes on in the EP given the growth in its legislative power. Because most of the EP’s detailed legislative work takes place in its committees, national parties should be concerned about their involvement with the EP’s committee system. Based on extensive original research, this book shows how the EP’s committees have changed over time in response to legislative empowerment and analyzes how national parties and individual MEPs use the committee system to further their policy goals. The book makes a theoretical contribution by providing an explanation for the variation in powers of committees between separated and fused systems of government and by adapting theories of legislative organization developed in the context of the US Congress, to the EP. The European Parliament’s Committees will be of interest to students and scholars studying the European Parliament, EU institutions, policy-making, and the development of legislatures and political parties.

Download or read book National Parliaments in An Integrated Europe An Anglo German Perspective written by Adam Cygan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-09-26 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acquisition of increased powers by the European Parliament has raised the spectre of a `competition legislature' for national parliaments, and even the threat of a democratic deficit at the national level. At this critical moment it is vital to recognise and reinforce the ways in which the institutions of the European Union are politically accountable to member States. In this profound and revealing analysis of the participation by domestic legislatures in policymaking and legislative processes at the European level, Adam Jan Cygan focuses on the evolving means by which the legislatures of Germany and the United Kingdom are responding to the increased competence of the European Union. This technique allows him to highlight such factors as the following: the procedures of European scrutiny committees in the United Kingdom Houses of Parliament and the German Bundestag; the accountability of national ministers for decisions taken in the European Council of Ministers; the role of sub-national governments, as revealed in both the formal federal system of Germany and the devolved administrations of the United Kingdom, in European affairs; and the continuing impact of Treaty provisions and informal cooperation between member States. National Parliaments in an Integrated Europe clearly demonstrates that, contrary to some prevailing beliefs, national parliaments are not necessarily destined to become mere administrative institutions. In fact, the national initiatives and procedures analysed here reveal a firm commitment to compel the attention of the European Commission and the European Parliament toward national and even sub-national accountability.
