The European Parliament and Delegated Legislation

This book looks into the Treaty-law framework governing the delegation of legislative power in the EU as redefined by the Lisbon Treaty. It asks how this empowered Parliament operates, both in relation to decision-making at the legislative level, looking at specific case studies, and the sub-legislative level, examining its scrutiny powers. It considers whether the Parliament’s formally reinforced role is reflected in the actual balance of powers in the area of delegated legislation.

This rigorous study gives a fascinating insight into one of the most significant developments in European parliamentary law-making, which EU constitutional lawyers will find required reading.
