"Madam President, I think that the theory of allowing national parliaments the opportunity to attack the principle of subsidiarity does not work in practice. So far, two years after the Lisbon Treaty came into force, there has not been a single occasion when there has been a sufficiently large number of members – two thirds – in the national parliaments to lodge an objection, thereby enabling the principle of subsidiarity to be blocked. Essentially, this was actually included in the Lisbon Treaty in the clear knowledge that it would not work. You are very well aware that a parliamentary procedure for adopting a decision in just one parliament takes two, sometimes three months, let alone 18 parliaments doing this. Indeed, the figures presented by the Commissioner here speak for themselves: 130 motions – 60 objections. Less than half an objection to one motion, when 18 objections are required. I think that, in the case of subsidiarity, the principle should be applied in reverse. The first step is to obtain approval from the parliaments, after which the next step is to adopt the act."@en1
