"Parliament’s right to set up temporary committees of inquiry to investigate ‘alleged contraventions or maladministration in the implementation of Community law’ was elevated to primary law by the Maastricht Treaty. Since the adoption of the interinstitutional agreement on this matter in 1995, however, Parliament has set up only three committees of inquiry. It was found that the powers of those committees were limited and had to be reformed. Committees of inquiry must have sufficient funds, must have access to all necessary documents and information, and must be able to summon all necessary persons. Failure to meet the obligations by persons and institutions should lead to the appropriate sanctions. An investigation should result in a proposed remedy and a report for Parliament. I agree with these principles and support them."@en1
