Project Manager: David Král

Timeframe: completed (March – December 2010)

Executive Summary:

The purpose of the research project was to examine the awareness of national parliaments’ (NPs) role in the EU decision making according to new Lisbon Treaty rules as well as preparing them for assuming a more pro-active engagement in terms of involvement in EU policy making and legislative processes. In the first stage, the current state of play was analyzed: how NPs participate in the national systems of European policy coordination and EU-triggered legislation. The next stage involved the examination of the awareness of the parliamentarians of the new rules and, on basis of the outcomes, possible awareness building activities.
