"Mr President, the report for which I am responsible, which is being discussed today, concerning Member State scrutiny of operations which are part of the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund, reflects the belief of the Committee on Agriculture regarding aligning this document with the related delegated acts and implementing acts introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon. Procedures were introduced in relation to the implementing acts under Regulation (EU) No 182/2011, which lays down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for Member State scrutiny of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers. Delegated acts take place in accordance with the development of informal negotiations between the three institutions. It is therefore essential that Parliament confirm this position through the vote which will take place tomorrow, which I hope will be passed by the greatest possible majority, so as to reaffirm Parliament’s position regarding its role as colegislator. I would therefore call on the Commission and the Council to adopt a narrow interpretation of the Treaty of Lisbon, so as to enable progress with our work, in particular, as regards reforming the common agricultural policy. There is no time to waste. The Treaty of Lisbon has transformed the old comitology procedure, introducing a clear distinction between administrative acts, or implementing acts, as well as conferring on Parliament the right of veto of the latter, on an equal footing with the Council; that is, the right to repeal the delegation of an act to the Commission. There is still an institutionalised procedure, according to which the Commission continues to be assisted by committees specialising in implementing acts, and it is inevitable that the Member States will consult experts for drawing up delegated acts. It is definitely necessary to find a balance between that which could be categorised as a basic act, as a delegated act, or as an implementing act, as long as the limits between different provisions leave a margin for interpretation. It is so as to achieve this balance that I would reiterate my call for a strict interpretation of the Treaty in which Parliament’s new powers are enshrined. I am not saying that Parliament should replace the EU’s executive, the Commission, or much less the governments of the Member States. I would simply demand for Parliament the power to scrutinise the new comitology, commensurate with its new role as colegislator, without promising effective decision making."@en1
