European Parliament
Luís Paulo Alves  (S&D ),
in writing.
(PT)
I am voting for this report and the related amendments. The Treaty of Lisbon provides for making European institutional processes more democratic by increasing the institutional role of the European Parliament, which is the only European institution that enjoys direct universal suffrage. I therefore believe there is a need for European Commission delegated acts to come under greater scrutiny from the European Parliament, so as to make the European Union’s institutional system more democratic.
