Abstract

The EP is a rare example of the parliamentary assembly of an international organization that has fought for its power and won. The EP went through certain milestones before the Lisbon Treaty, as seen below in Table 3.1, which provided the Assembly with full “co-legislative” powers in virtually all areas of the EU legislative activity, the right to elect the President of the European Commission, and an equal say with the Council as regards the entire EU budget, as well as other enhanced powers.

Article 218(10) TFEU. Judgment of the Court (Grand Chamber), 24 June 2014. European Parliament v Council of the European Union (Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Mauritius). Case C-658/11. The court stated in para. 54 that “Article 218(6) TFEU covers three types of procedure for concluding international agreements, each one prescribing a different role for the Parliament. Thus, the Parliament may be called upon to consent to the conclusion of an agreement, or it may only be consulted in that regard, or it may even be excluded from the process of concluding the agreement, without prejudice, however, to its right to be immediately and fully informed at all stages of the procedure, in accordance with Article 218(10) TFEU.”

As para 36 of Case 138/79 states:
[W]ithout prejudice to the questions of principle raised by that argument of the council it suffices to observe that in the present case on 25 June 1979 when the council adopted regulation no 1293/79 amending regulation no 1111/77 without the opinion of the assembly the Council had not exhausted all the possibilities of obtaining the preliminary opinion of the Parliament. In the first place the council did not request the application of the emergency procedure provided for by the internal regulation of the parliament although in other sectors and as regards other draft regulations it availed itself of that power at the same time. Further the Council could have made use of the possibility it had under article 139 of the Treaty to ask for an extraordinary session of the assembly especially as the bureau of the Parliament on 1 March and 10 May 1979 drew its attention to that possibility.
