I welcomed this document, because Article 9 of Protocol 1 stipulates that the organisation and promotion of any form of effective and regular interparliamentary cooperation must be determined jointly by the European Parliament and national parliaments. The European Parliament codecides with the Council on the EU budget for external action, including the budget for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) civilian missions and the administrative costs arising from EU military coordination. The European Parliament is a source of democratic legitimacy for the CFSP and the CSDP, over which it exercises political scrutiny. I agree with the opinion that strengthened interparliamentary cooperation in the area of CFSP and CSDP would reinforce parliamentary influence over the political choices made by the EU and its States, owing to the European Parliament’s responsibilities for the common policies of the Union, including the CFSP/CSDP, and to the prerogatives each national parliament enjoys in national security and defence policy decisions. Parliament’s own representation in any new form of interparliamentary cooperation should be on a scale which reflects the range and importance of its role in scrutinising CFSP/CSDP, and should recognise the common European nature of such policies and satisfy the need to reflect the political and geographic pluralism of the House. In order to acquire added value as well as contain costs, the Secretariat and premises of the European Parliament are in principle available to support the organisation and hosting of the interparliamentary meetings."@en1
