lpv:translated text	"The right of inquiry is a very important element of a parliament’s supervisory powers. This right is exercised in very different ways by democratic parliaments all over the world. Parliament has exercised this right with great caution, but the Treaty of Lisbon has now explicitly given Parliament the right of initiative. Since the procedure has changed, Parliament is not tabling amendments to the old decision, but is proposing a new regulation instead. Committees will therefore be able to carry out any type of investigation, such as by conducting on-the-spot investigations, requesting documents, holding hearings for officials and other EU or Member State civil servants, summoning witnesses and requesting an expert report. They should have access to all documents and to any information which may facilitate their work. I voted for this report in plenary for these reasons."@en1
