European Parliament
David Martin (PSE ),

My colleague Richard Corbett is undoubtedly Parliament’s leading expert on constitutional matters. I welcome this latest report which amends the rules of procedure to bring them in line with the new agreement on comitology. While this can be seen as a technical matter it is in fact highly political because the way we adapt our rules directly impacts on our ability to influence EU legislation. Richard has always been adept at maximising Parliament’s influence.
