European Parliament
Raül Romeva i Rueda  (Verts/ALE ),
in writing.
– In favour. As regards delegated acts, the new rules provide for changes in the procedures to be followed and deadlines to be met by the committees involved (including in cases where Rules 50 and 51 applied for the adoption of the legislative act) and/or by the groups when tabling motions for resolutions to object to delegated acts, revoke a delegation of powers (the two possibilities laid down in Article 290 TFEU) or on the contrary, and in exceptional cases (notably in cases of urgency), give rapid approval prior to the deadlines. As regards implementing acts, the new rules need to take into account transitional provisions governing revision of the existing basic acts based on Articles 3, 4 or 5 of the old Comitology Decision. This means that during the time needed to bring the existing legislation in line, a number of legislative acts will continue to be covered by the old procedure. For the Greens/EFA, this ensures proper procedures within Parliament so that both all the committees involved and the groups can effectively exercise the new rights for Parliament deriving from the Lisbon Treaty.
