European Parliament
Maria do Céu Patrão Neves  (PPE ),

The entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon profoundly changed the comitology procedure, turning it into a new system that provides for adopting delegated acts and implementing acts. I voted for this amendment to Rules 87a and 88 of the Rules of Procedure, which adapts them to the new situation. Of these amendments, I would highlight the new Rule 87a, which fills an existing gap by creating specific rules applicable to the processes of associated committees and joint committee meetings.
