He said the Parliament\u2019s agreement to fast-track EU legislation, which the European Commission said was needed to ensure the treaty worked alongside existing fiscal-discipline rules, would be dependent on how involved MEPs are in the creation of the treaty. <\/p>\n<p><H3>Resolution on treaty <\/H3><\/p>\n<p>The Parliament\u2019s group leaders have already decided to adopt a resolution on the treaty once it has been drafted. Officials said that a positive view would depend on the Parliament\u2019s degree of participation. The economic and monetary affairs committee has appointed Elisa Ferreira, a Portuguese centre-left MEP, and Jean-Paul Gauz\u00e8s, a French centre-right MEP, to draft the Parliament\u2019s position on the Commission\u2019s new economic-governance proposals for increased surveillance, presented on 23 November. <\/p>\n<p>Daul said the failure of all 27 EU leaders to agree a change to the Lisbon treaty had put the EU in both a legal and a political mess. He said \u201ceverything had to be done to involve\u201d MEPs in the drafting to ensure the Parliament \u201cplays its rightful role\u201d and that the treaty was democratically legitimate. <\/p>\n<p>Van Rompuy was vague about the Parliament\u2019s role in preparing the treaty, which is to include rules obliging member states to balance their national budgets and steps to make the EU\u2019s fiscal discipline more automatic. He said, however, that the Council \u201cwill associate the European Parliament\u2026in the work and the process in putting together this inter-governmental treaty\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>Jos\u00e9 Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission, tried to reassure MEPs, insisting that the Commission would do \u201call it can\u201d to make sure the draft treaty was \u201cacceptable\u201d for EU institutions. <\/p>\n<p>Click Here: <a href='https:\/\/www.rwcstore.com\/nrl-telstra-premiership.html' title='NRL Telstra Premiership'>NRL Telstra Premiership<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MEPs also voiced concerns over the failure of EU leaders to agree a deal involving all 27 member states. Rebecca Harms, a co-leader of the Greens, said that the decisions adopted not only created new divisions but were also wrong with respect to solving the crisis. \u201cAll the things we really need now to solve the crisis can be done without treaty change,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p><H3>Roadmap for crisis exit <\/H3><\/p>\n<p>A meeting of the Parliament\u2019s Conference of Presidents, which gathers the leaders of the parliament\u2019s political groups, plus the Parliament president, decided on Monday (12 December) to draft a \u201croadmap\u201d for member states to get out of the crisis. <\/p>\n<p>The resolution, which is to be voted on during the Parliament\u2019s first session in January, will set out the Parliament\u2019s views on what EU member states should do to alleviate the crisis. It rejects treaty change as a short-term solution and urges eurozone members to give the European Central Bank more powers. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<footer class=\"content-credits\">\n<h6>Authors:<\/h6>\n<dl class=\"vcard\">\n<dt class=\"credits-author\"><span class=\"vcard\">Constant Brand<\/span>&nbsp;<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MEPs demand role in drafting fiscal compact Schulz says Parliament must be an &#8220;equal partner&#8221;.
