Lecture 3: Interactions between EU institutionsThe European Commission and the European Court of Justice
The European Commission
Functioning:
● The Commission has the right of initiative
● Council reacts
● Parliament has the possibility to amend or reject the
proposal of the Council.
First reading agreements
Consequence of the long process is that even before the
proposal is brought to attention, it has already been sent informally to the most important actors to
prevent a long procedure. The Parliament and Council are informally talking about the proposal, this
can result in a first reading agreement, after the first reading everything is already decided, so, again
no long procedure. These informal meetings are called trialogues.
The downside of the trialogue meetings is that it is less transparent, behind closed doors, and it only
includes a few participants from each institution.
- A major downside can even be that although the procedure is fast, if the new legislation is a
wrongly stated policy, it can take many years to undo.
Lisbon Treaty (2009)
● Extension of the ordinary legislative procedure
- More work for EP
