The main aim of this report is to contribute to improving the quality of regulations, an aim which cannot be overemphasised or taken too far. The rapporteur believes that there is a need to go further than the Interinstitutional Agreement ‘European Governance: Better lawmaking’, because the aspirations of the European Parliament have not all been realised. We must have clear, precise, simple and effective Community regulations and this is the raison d'être of this agreement. Let us not forget, however, that the European Parliament has direct democratic legitimacy, because its Members are directly elected by Europe’s citizens, who are those most affected by Community decisions.
The fever to legislate that we have seen, especially in the last decade, heightens the desire to increase Parliament’s role in the legislative framework. For this reason I support the rapporteur’s idea to increase the EP’s involvement in the spheres of co-regulation and self-regulation. Furthermore, this third report was adopted unanimously in committee.
Nevertheless, this report removes the flexibility and closeness that the interinstitutional agreement seeks to achieve, by assuming the means required to put these measures into practice. The a priori and a posteriori controls that it seeks to add do not warrant my support and I consequently abstained."@en1
