"In accordance with the Treaty, the European Parliament is regularly consulted on the main aspects and basic choices of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). Its consent is in fact a prerequisite in order to translate EU strategies into laws and to conclude international agreements. It is a source of democratic legitimacy and exercises political scrutiny. We believe that strengthened interparliamentary cooperation in the area of CFSP and the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) would reinforce parliamentary influence over the political choices made by the EU and its Member States. On the other hand, we deplore the fact that it has not been possible to reach an agreement between the European Parliament and national parliaments on new forms of interparliamentary cooperation in foreign policy. That would have had enormously positive effects, and would have promoted co-ownership of the right of consultation, with the dual objective of obtaining better added value and keeping down organisational costs. We are ready to support all the efforts of the current Polish Presidency of the EU to reach an agreement along these lines, in the shortest possible time."@en1
