Democracy in the EU and the Role of the European Parliament
Study by Federal Trust, Institut fà¼r Europà¤ische Politik, Centro Studi sul Federalismo, Istituto Affari Internazionali, Notre Europe | 12/03/2009
In the view of the upcoming 2009 EP elections, five institutes came together in order to carry out a study on this curcial topic. The main aim of the initiative was not only to launch (once again) the proposal that European political parties nominate candidates for the post of President of the European Commission, but also to advocate that the European Parliament play a more crucial and central role, in terms of both exercising its power and undertaking inter-institutional dialogue.
