The European Parliament,

having regard to the decisions taken by the Conference of Presidents on 22 April and 12 and 20 May 2010 proposing the setting up of a special committee on the political challenges and the budgetary means available to the Union after 2013,

having regard to Art. 312(5) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which stipulates that throughout the procedure leading to the adoption of the financial framework, Parliament, the Council and the Commission shall take any measure necessary to facilitate its adoption,

having regard to the need to gather and coordinate the opinions of the various committees concerned and to establish a mandate for the Committee on Budgets for its negotiations with the Council aiming to adopt a regulation containing the future multi-annual financial framework (MFF), and possibly, the definition of supporting measures to be defined in an interinstitutional agreement,

having regard to the work undertaken by Parliament’s special committee on the financial, economic and social crisis and the need for a follow-up of the work of that committee, especially with regard to support for sustainable and qualitative growth and long-term investments, in order to tackle the long-term effects of the crisis,

having regard to Rule 184 of its Rules of Procedure,

1. Decides to set up a special committee with the following remit: (a) to define Parliament’s political priorities for the post-2013 MFF, both in legislative terms and budgetary terms; (b) to estimate the financial resources necessary for the Union to attain its objectives and carry out its policies for the period starting 1 January 2014; (c) to define the duration of the next MFF; (d) to propose, in accordance with those priorities and objectives, a structure for the future MFF, indicating the main areas of Union activity; (e) to submit guidelines for an indicative allocation of resources between and within the different headings of expenditure of the MFF in line with the priorities and proposed structure; (f) to specify the link between a reform of the financing system of the EU budget and a review of expenditure to provide the Committee on Budgets with a sound basis for negotiations on the new MFF;

2. Decides to establish the special committee for a term of 12 months from 1 July 2010 in order to submit a report to Parliament before the Commission presents its proposal with figures for the next MFF, planned for July 2011;

3. Recalls that the specific budgetary and legislative proposals will be dealt with by the relevant committees in accordance with Annex VII of its Rules of Procedure;
1. Up to five Members may submit a written declaration of not more than 200 words on a matter falling within the competence of the European Union which does not cover issues that are the subject of an ongoing legislative process . Authorisation shall be given by the President on a case-by-case basis . Written declarations shall be printed in the official languages and distributed. They shall be entered with the names of the signatories, in a register. This register shall be public and shall be kept outside the entrance to the Chamber during part-sessions and in an appropriate location, to be determined by the College of Quaestors, between part-sessions.

1. At least 10 Members from at least three political groups may submit a written declaration of not more than 200 words relating exclusively to a matter falling within the competence of the European Union. The contents of such a declaration may not go beyond the form of a declaration. In particular, it may not call for any legislative action, contain any decision on matters for which specific procedures and competences are laid down in these Rules of Procedure or deal with the subject of ongoing proceedings in Parliament.
1.

Decides to append the following interpretation to Rule 117(3): ‘Since the chair of a committee is empowered by Rule 193(1) to convene a meeting of that committee, it is up to him, in the interest of the proper organisation of proceedings, to determine the draft agenda of the meeting he has convened. This prerogative is without prejudice to his obligation under Rule 117(3) to place a written question, at the request of its author, on the draft agenda for the next meeting of the committee. However, the chair has the discretionary power to propose, in the light of political priorities, the agenda and procedural arrangements for the meeting (e.g. a procedure without debate, possibly with the adoption of a decision on action to be taken, or, where appropriate, a recommendation to carry over the item to a subsequent meeting).’

Instructs its President to forward this decision to the Council and, for information, the Court of Auditors, the other institutions of the European Union and the audit institutions of the Member States.

COSAC encourages national Parliaments to play an active role in the smooth functioning of the European Union by using all the possibilities offered to them by the Treaty of Lisbon. In particular, COSAC encourages the Chambers of the EU Parliaments to:

(a) monitor the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality according to the procedures outlined in Protocol 2 annexed to the Treaties;

(b) continue the political dialogue with the European Commission not only limited to legislative proposals and going well beyond the issue of subsidiarity.

COSAC will take note of the results of these activities in order to share information and good practices between national Parliaments.
