EU Parliament and national parliaments relations (Lisbon Treaty)

This procedure concerns how the European Parliament and national parliaments interact and cooperate. It aims to strengthen democratic oversight and ensure national parliaments are better involved in EU decision-making, as envisioned by the Treaty of Lisbon.

It affects citizens by potentially increasing transparency and accountability in EU legislation. National parliaments will have a clearer role in scrutinizing EU proposals, ensuring they align with national interests and democratic principles.
