Parliament's right of initiative
This procedure concerns the European Parliament's ability to propose new legislation or suggest policy changes. While the European Commission holds the primary power to propose laws, this mechanism allows the Parliament to formally request that the Commission take specific legislative action to address gaps in EU law.
This affects the balance of power between EU institutions. It enables MEPs to drive the legislative agenda based on the needs of citizens, potentially leading to new laws across various policy sectors.
