Legislative Codecision in the European Union by Anne Rasmussen Pdf

This volume takes stock of twenty years of practising and studying codecision in the European Union (EU) and examines the procedure?s long-term implications for the EU?s institutions, politics and policies. The introduction of co-legislation between the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament in 1993 raised the prospect of increased parliamentary involvement in EU decision-making and promised a new era of more transparent, inclusive and accountable policy-making. This collection draws together contributions from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives in order to analyse the extent to which codecision has delivered the expected gains and to review the unexpected effects that have followed from its introduction, such as the growing informalisation of EU decision-making. Using a combination of in-depth qualitative case studies, wider quantitative analyses, practitioners? insights and a review of the procedure?s democratic legitimacy the contributions offer a holistic assessment of the effect of co-decision on the political system of the EU.This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy.

European Decision Making and Legislative Process: Council and the European Parliament by Julia Christin Bauer Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: B+, Diplomatic Academy of Vienna - School of International Studies, course: European Decision Making, language: English, abstract: QUESTION: To what extend can one say that Council and the European Parliament are on an equal footing in the legislative process? Use examples if possible to back up your answer. The Council of the European Union and the European Parliament both play an important role in the legislative process of the European Union. Once a proposal was submitted by the European Commission, Council and Parliament will decide on the issue by using one of four forms of legislative procedures: codecision, consultation or assent and cooperation. The choice of procedure depends on the policy area of the proposal. Influence and power of Parliament and Council differ depending on the type of legislative procedure in use. There are cases in which the Council is dominant, for example in the decision on the directive on software patents , and areas in which the Parliament is dominant, such as the decision on stock storage of telecommunication data in 2005.

Between Forces of Inertia and Progress by Hubert Iral Pdf

This paper aims to explore, whether these two requirements are fulfilled. The following is that a too optimistic assessment of the Co-decision procedure, as a tool for more legitimacy cannot be justified. In order to demonstrate my thesis, I will firstly discuss the general problem for European Citizens with legislation at the national and European level, specifically regarding the critical question, of how the EU can bring the people closer to the Union. Secondly, it seems useful to deliver a more comprehensive description of the history of the Co-decision procedure, because this gives an insight into the development of legislation in the Community.

The contributors seek to understand the relationship between member states and competing European institutions. The book focuses on the horizontal checks and balances including the countervailing forces of legislative, regulatory, bureaucratic, and constitutional decision-making. Other examinations analyze the vertical structures, in particular the impact of the federal distributions of power on policy choices.

Preferences and Procedures by Torsten J. Selck Pdf

Preferences and Procedures presents and tests game-theoretic models of European Union legislative decision-making. It is inspired by the idea of linking statistical testing strategies firmly to formal models of EU policymaking. After describing salient features of the EU legislative process and comparing different models of how the EU negotiates new legislative measures, the models' predictive power is evaluated. On a more general level, Preferences and Procedures answers questions regarding the empirically recognizable effects of institutional arrangements on joint bargaining outcomes.

Decision-Making in the European Union by John Peterson,Elizabeth Bomberg Pdf

Based on exhaustive research, this book explains how the European Union makes decisions in seven major policy sectors. Written in a clear, user-friendly style, it brings the EU alive for a student and non-specialist audience. The book's central themes are that informal norms often matter more than formal rules, agency often matters more than structure, and abrupt change often punctuates deadlock. It offers a theoretically-based introduction to the lively, humorous and fascinating politics of a unique experiment in modern governance.

Organising the European Parliament by Nikoleta Yordanova Pdf

The recent empowerment of the European Parliament makes this a timely study of the impact of its internal organisation on legislative politics, interest representation and democracy within the Union. Using data on all legislators and legislative proposals in the 6th parliamentary term, the book confronts alternative theories of legislative organisation in rigorous statistical analyses supported by rich interview information. The findings indicate that the internal setup and legislative output of the parliamentary committees serve the policy goals of parties in the European Parliament, and in particular the working majority party, rather than special interests or purely informational needs, which the author explains with the formal and informal parliamentary rules. As the committees advance party politics instead of particularistic policies, she concludes that legislating within the committees is positive for democracy in the European Union and raises concerns about the loss in transparency, legitimacy and accountability that the increasingly common fast-track bicameral decision-making outside the committees entails.

The United Kingdom Parliament and European Union Legislation by Adam Cygan Pdf

This book analyses the role of the United Kingdom Parliament in the law-making procedures of the European Union. The work is divided into three parts. Part One considers the constitutional position of the UK Parliament in the European Union and examines the formal and informal relationship between Parliament and the European Institutions and their effect upon the legislative process. Part Two focuses on the House of Commons scrutiny of European Community legislative proposals. It examines the work of the Select Committees on European Legislation, the two European Standing Committees and the Departmental Select Committees. A particular point of focus is their primary task of influencing the minister before he or she gives final agreement to a legislative proposal in the Council of Ministers. This section concludes with an analysis of how developments `post-Maastricht' have affected the scrutiny process. Particular attention is paid to the co-decision legislative procedure and its impact on scrutiny. Part Three focuses on the arrangements in the House of Lords for scrutiny of European decision making. The two core chapters examine and evaluate the Select Committee on the European Communities and the five subject-related Sub-Committees. Where relevant, comparative analysis with procedures in the Commons is drawn. Developments 'post-Maastricht' are also considered by inquiring into the scrutiny arrangements for legislation proposed under the Inter-Governmental Pillars; the political cooperation forum within the European Union. Part Three concludes with an appraisal of current proposals for reforming the House of Lords and its potential impact on scrutiny. Part Four evaluates the evidence and proposes detailed reforms to the scrutiny process. The final paragraphs focus specifically on the outcome of the 1996-1997 Inter-Governmental Conference, whose agenda includes the roles of national parliaments in the European Union. Within this context, the prospects for, and likely future developments in, the scrutiny process are considered.

Rulemaking by the European Commission by Carl Fredrik Bergström,Dominique Ritleng Pdf

The last few years have seen major reforms to the delegation of powers and post-delegation supervision of the European Commission. In light of these reforms, Rulemaking by the European Commission: The New System for Delegation of Powers assesses whether the new system has really affected the old doctrine of delegation of powers, and if so, how? Specific questions answered include: have the objectives of the reform been achieved and what were these objectives? How does the new system affect the division of functions between the institutions of the EU and the institutional balance? Has this new system affected the relationship between the EU and its Member States, and if so, how does it concern its citizens? Presented by an interdisciplinary group of experts who have actively followed or participated in the process of reform, the book is structured in four parts: (1) the political and historical context in which the rule-making takes place, (2) the operation and functioning of the system before and after the reform, (3) the legal substance of a new framework for rule-making and the emerging case law from the Court of Justice of the EU, and (4) the procedural dimension, including the legal preconditions for non-institutional actors to participate.
