"Improving democratic control over the funds intended for supporting human rights is a concrete objective that we have to achieve. It can only be done, however, with our direct involvement: as co-legislator, Parliament must be able to directly control decisions on external development spending. Granting this House power over what are known as ‘delegated acts’ would help to shrink the democratic deficit in the decision-making process of the European Union. In October last year a large majority in this House upheld the principle of applying delegated acts to external funding decisions as well, so as to have power of veto over them. The outcome of the negotiations on the use of these instruments will establish a strong precedent. If we lose this battle, we may have to wait for a new Treaty in order to obtain the powers that the Lisbon Treaty is giving us now."@en1
