Abstract

By analyzing the relation between EP and Council we may conclude the existence of an increase of the EP’s role in the decisional process through the angle of statistical and practical results of the co-decision procedure. The cooperation introduced by the EUA, marked the moment of the growing importance of the EP’s opinion in the legislative process. The co-decision procedure supposes multiple stages of negotiation and debate between Council and EP. The successive steps taken by this institution, observed mostly in generalizing the procedure of co-decision actually meaning the reduction of the democratic deficit of the EU, normalization and equalizing the relation with the Council and a step forward in the direction of the bicameral federalism.
