Abstract

The European Union’s decision-making process is a debateable topic especially since the enforcement of the Lisbon Treaty, as it modifies some aspects regarding the balance of power between the European institutions and the member states. As such, an important provision of this Treaty is the improving role of the national parliaments. Therefore, my aim is to analyze the following issues: to begin with, I shall discuss the courses of action that the national parliaments could take in the European decision-making process before the Treaty of Lisbon; secondly, I shall present the new opportunities of the member states’ parliaments of getting involved in this process according to the Lisbon Treaty. And last but not least, I shall discuss the impact of the increasing role of national parliaments in Romania’s case. In other words, on the one hand, I am going to analyze whether or not there are structural changes in Romania’s Parliament, which influence its functioning both at the European level and at the national level; on the other hand, I am going to study if the implication of our country’s parliament in the European decision-making process is a more visible one, considering this new provision.
