lpv:translated text	"The Treaty of Lisbon provides for the European Parliament’s right to establish committees of inquiry. It is a right of the European Parliament guaranteeing greater democracy throughout the European Union and helping the EP exercise strict parliamentary control. I welcome this report because it highlights the importance of the limits of the powers of the EP’s committees of inquiry. The EU Court of Justice (ECJ) also investigates infringements by EU institutions, and it is therefore important that the areas of competence of the EP and the ECJ should not conflict with one another. I agree with the rapporteur that the EP must have the right to summon any EU servants, from the lowest-ranking to the President of the Commission, to have access to all documents, as well as the right to provide for penalties for servants found guilty. The EP must also be informed about how the decisions of the committees of inquiry are being implemented. I agree with the MEPs who stressed that the EP could also summon servants from EU Member States to a hearing under the same conditions as employees of the EU’s institutions."@en1
