WORKSHEET - Lecture III - THE TREATY OF LISBON

I. Answer the following questions:

1. Why was a new treaty necessary?
A new Treaty was necessary because it provides the Union with the legal framework and tools
necessary to meet future challenges and to respond to citizens' demands.

2. When was the Treaty of Lisbon signed?

The Treaty of Lisbon was signed on 13 December 2007.

3. When did the Treaty enter into force?

The Treaty entered into force on 1 December 2009.

4. Mention the enhanced role of the European Parliament as established by the Treaty.
The European Parliament is provided with important new powers regarding EU legislation,
the EU budget and international agreements. In particular, the increase of co-decision
procedure in policy-making ensures that the European Parliament is placed on an equal
footing with the Council, representing Member States, for the vast bulk of EU legislation. The
treaty has boosted its powers as regards lawmaking, the EU budget and approval of
international agreements. The composition of the parliament has also been changed - the
number of MEPs is capped at 751 (750 plus the president of the parliament). Seats are
distributed among countries according to “degressive proportionality”, i.e. MEPs from more
populous countries will each represent more people than those from smaller countries. No
country may now have less than 6 or more than 96 MEPs.

5. Describe the role of the ordinary legislative procedure (co-decision).

the 'co-decision procedure' (renamed 'ordinary legislative procedure') has been extended to
several new fields. This means that Parliament now has the same degree of lawmaking power as
the Council in some areas where it used to be merely consulted or not involved at all. These areas
include legal immigration, penal judicial cooperation (Eurojust, crime prevention, alignment of
prison standards, offences and penalties), police cooperation (Europol) and some aspects of trade
policy and agriculture. The Parliament now has a role to play in almost all lawmaking.

6. Which is the role granted to national parliaments by the Treaty?

The treaty gives the national parliaments greater scope to participate alongside the European
institutions in the work of the Union. A new clause clearly sets out the rights and duties of the
national parliaments within the EU. It deals with their right to information, the way they
monitor subsidiarity, mechanisms for evaluating policy in the field of freedom, security and
justice, procedures for reforming the treaties, and so on.

7. What categories of powers are identified by the Treaty?

The categories of powers identified by Treaty are :
-Exclusive powers: in fields like the customs union, the common trade policy and competition,
only the Union may legislate
-Supporting, coordinating or complementary action: in areas like culture, education and industry,
the Union may only support action by the member states (by providing funding, for example)
-shared powers: in other fields, like the environment, transport and consumer protection, the
Union and the member states share lawmaking power, not forgetting subsidiarity.
8. Name the instrument provided by the Treaty which enhanced the participation of the
European citizens in the political process.

9. Define the double majority as basis for the calculation of qualified majority voting.
A double majority will be achieved when a decision is taken by 55% of the Member States
representing at least 65% of the Union’s population.

10. Which are the new positions created by the Treaty of Lisbon?

11. Name a new provision in the Treaty which grants Member States a right they did not have
before.
A right Member States didn’t have before is the fact that for the first time the countries had the
right to withdraw from the European Union.

12. Name the seven European institutions provided by the Treaty.

The seven European institutions are :
-European Parliament
- European Council
- The Council of the European Union
- European Commission
- European Court of Justice
- European Central Bank and European Court of Auditors

13. State how the seats in the European Parliament are distributed among countries.
The seats in the European Parliament are distributed among countries according to “degressive
proportionality”, i.e. MEPs from more populous countries will each represent more people than
those from smaller countries. No country may now have less than 6 or more than 96 MEPs.

14. Which is the status of the European Council as established by the Treaty?
The European Council, which has the role of driving EU policy-making, now becomes a full EU
institution. Although it does not gain any new powers, it is headed by a newly created position of
president. Elected by the European Council for 2½ years, the main job of the president is to
prepare the Council’s work, ensure its continuity and work to secure consensus among member
countries. The president cannot simultaneously hold any elected position or office nationally.

15. Name the powers shared by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union.
The council of the European Union continues to share lawmaking and budget power with the
European Parliament and maintain its central role in common foreign and security policy (CFSP)
and coordinating economic policies.

16. Name the new provisions made by the Treaty with respect to the European Commission.
The new provisions made by the Treaty are :
-a direct link between the results of the European elections and the choice of candidate for
president of the Commission.
-the president is also stronger, as he/she has the power to dismiss fellow Commissioners

17. Name the new Service created by the Treaty and state its role.
The new service created by the Treaty is called “European external action service” , it’s composed
of officials from the Council, Commission and national diplomatic services and its role is to
representsthe EU’s common foreign and security policy internationally.

18. Describe the election of the President of the European Commission.

Under Article 17 of the Treaty on European Union the European Parliament’s approval has two
stages: in the first, Parliament elects the candidate proposed by the European Council for
President of the Commission. In a second stage, Parliament approves the whole Commission as a
body. To prepare for its vote it considers in detail the candidates whom the Council has proposed
as Commissioners by common accord with the President, and in the light of the portfolios that he
intends to give them.

19. Mention the role of the President of the European Commission.

The role of the President of the European Commission is controlling the Commission which
collectively has the right of initiative on Union legislation (only on matters delegated to it by
member states for collective action, as determined by the treaties) and is responsible for
ensuring its enforcement. The President controls the policy agenda of the Commission for his
term and in practice no policy can be proposed without the President's agreement.
The role of the President is to lead the Commission, and give direction to the Commission
and the Union as a whole.

20. Describe the procedure for the evaluation of the Commissioners-designate.

Parliament evaluates the Commissioners-designate on the basis of their general competence,
European commitment and personal independence. It also assesses their knowledge of the
prospective portfolio and their communication skills. Parliament takes particular account of the
need for gender balance. It may express views on the allocation of portfolios proposed by the
President-elect.

21. Describe the steps to be followed between the hearings of the Commissioners –designate and
the formal appointment of the European Commission.
Parliament’s approval procedure is laid down in Annex XVII to its Rules of Procedure and
consists of the following steps:
• Parliament receives the Commissioner-designates’ curriculum vitae and their declarations
of financial interests.
• Parliament puts to the Commissioners-designate a series of written questions dealing
mainly with the candidates’ policy priorities in their respective fields of responsibility. The
candidates’ written replies provide the basis for the oral stage – the hearings.
• Each Commissioner-designate is invited to a three-hour public hearing with the
parliamentary committee(s) responsible for the portfolio concerned. These hearings enable the
committees to get to know the personalities of the Commissioners-designate and have a detailed
exchange of views with the various candidates on their priorities in their prospective areas of
responsibility.
• The committees then evaluate each of the Commissioners-designate. They check that the
Commissioners-designate have the skills required not only to be Members of the Commission in
general, but also to be in charge of a particular portfolio.
• The results of the hearings are sent to the President of Parliament and considered by the
Conference of Presidents, comprising the President and all political group leaders, and by the
Conference of Committee Chairs.
• The Commission President presents the College of Commissioners-designate and their
programme to a plenary sitting of Parliament which the Council of the EU is invited to attend.
This presentation is followed by a debate.
• Lastly, Parliament votes on approval of the whole European Commission as a body. The
new Commission can then be formally appointed by the European Council, acting by a qualified
majority.

TRADUCERE :
Tratatul de la Lisabona a fost semnat de catre sefii de stat sau de guvern din 27 state
membre, pe 13 decembrie 2007. Cele mai importante reforme propuse de defuncta
Constitutiei sunt preluate de Tratatul de la Lisabona. In primul rand , Uniunea
Europeana a absorbit Comunitatea Europeana care a încetat să existe din data de 1
decembrie 2009 , de la intrarea in vigoare a noului tratat. De acum încolo vorbim doar de
Uniunea Europena, dar nu ne referim la Comunitatea Europeană privind toate legiile
adoptate pe baza acesteia. Uniunea Europeana are acum o singura personalitate
juridică cu ajutorul careia pot negocia, semna și să pună în aplicare toate
angajamentele sale exterioare, politicile și activitățile, inclusiv comertul, ajutorul
pentru dezvoltare, reprezentare in tari terte si in cadrul organizatiilor internationale ,
politica externa si de securitate. Aflata sub puterea noului tratat, Uniunea Europeana
devine mai democratica. Puterile Parlamentului European au crescut considerabil.
Procedura de codecizie a Parlamentului European și a Consiliului este redenumita
procedura legislativă ordinară și este extinsa la mai multe câmpuri noi, inclusiv
justitia si afacerilor interne, unele aspecte ale negotului comun , comerțului și
politicilor agricole, precum și bugetului UE. Astfel, Parlamentul are acum funcțiile de
Camera Deputatilor care reprezinta cetatenii Uniunii, în timp ce Consiliul are rolul de
Senat, reprezentând guvernelor statelor membre. Parlamentul si Consiliul au puteri
egale cu privire la totalitatea bugetului care este numit ''bugetul Uniunii''.
Parlamentului este necesar pentru toate acordurile internationale in domenii
reglementate de procedura legislativă ordinară. Tratatul de la Lisabona conține multe
alte elemente care vizeaza continua democratizare a functionarii Uniunii. El
definește, pentru prima dată, fundatiile democratice ale Uniunii, care se bazează pe
trei principii: cele ale democratiei participative, democratiei reprezentative si
egalitatii democratice. Acestea oferă parlamentelor nationale un rol mai important
pentru a participa alaturi de institutiile europene in dezvoltarea Uniunii, stabilirea
dreptului lor la informatie, pentru mecanisme de evaluare politica in domeniul
libertatii, securitatii si justitiei, proceduri de reformă a tratatelor si, cel mai
important, pentru a monitoriza faptele Uniunea , unde actiuniile sale sunt mai
eficiente decat o actiune intreprinsa la nivel national. Aceasta invită cetățenii să
participe la politicile Uniunii datorită initiativii lor, prin care un milioan de cetateni,
de la un număr de state terte, sunt capabile de a cere Comisiei să prezinte o
propunere în oricare din zonele de responsabilitate a UE. Acest lucru scoate în
evidență caracterul benevol al procesului de integrare, prin explicit recunoscând
posibilitatea pentru un stat membru pentru a se retrage de la Uniunea Europeana.

proposed greater coherence, efficiency and democratic legitimacy in an enlarged European Union.
Following protracted ratification, the Reform Treaty continues to face challenges however.
Following the treaty of Nice a Convention on the Future of Europe (aka European Convention)
was established to draw up a draft constitutional treaty for Europe between March 2002 and July
2003. The Draft Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe was the subject of an
intergovernmental conference intended to revise the structure and decision making process to
support the enlargement of the Union. Although the treaty was adopted by the Heads of State and
Government at the Brussels European Council on 17 and 18 June 2004 and signed in Rome on 29
October 2004, it was never ratified. Reflection on the reform process, prompted the
establishment of a new Inter Governmental Conference in 2007. The resulting 'Reform Treaty'
was drawn up under the Portuguese presidency, and signed at Lisbon. While the constitutional
treaty (see below) was rejected by referenda, the initial rejection of the Lisbon Treaty by
referendum of the Republic of Ireland in June 2008 was reversed in October 2009 by a 67 % vote
in favour of ratification. Unanimous ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon followed as instruments of
ratification were deposited by the final member states with the Italian government. While the
treaty entered force several months before David Cameron took office at Downing street, the new
UK government has proposed, through the Queen’s Speech of 25 May 2010, legislation to ensure
that 'British people have their say on any proposed transfer of powers to the European Union'.
