  • How Do Parliaments of France, Italy and Spain Fight Information Asymmetries?
    Parliamentary accountability in Europe: How do parliaments of France, Italy and Spain fight information asymmetries? By Manuel Sánchez de Dios Universidad Complutense de Madrid- Spain [email protected] Paper prepared for the workshop: “Comparing legislatures worldwide: roles, functions and performance in old and new democracies”. DIrectors: Dr. Natalia Ajenjo (U. of Burgos, Spain) and . Mariana Llanos (GIGA Institute, Germany). ECPR Joint Sessions, Rennes (France), 11-16 April, 2008 Abstract: In this paper one considers the variety of forms of parliamentary accountably in South Europe, the functions they can perform and the relevance they have from the viewpoint of the agency theory. In the paper there is also an evaluation of the cases studied. We conclude that there is not a distinctive model of parliamentary accountability in Southern Europe though the three parliaments are “proactive” in checking the executive and Spain and Italy have sound similarities. Plenary debates and policy evaluation are the most relevant activities in France while in Italy there is a big variety of procedures with different functions and high level of activity in committee. In Spain parliamentary accountability have a multifunctional character too and it is very precise and specialized. 1 A) INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to estimate the importance of the executive responsibility before the parliament in South European countries. At the same time it evaluates the quality of democracy since parliamentary accountability is one indicator of it. In a democracy parliaments have to ensure that the executive is kept under scrutiny and prevented from abusing its powers. In this paper one only pays attention to ex post accountability or “police patrol oversight” in terms of McCubbins and Schwartz (1984).

  • Bicameral Systems and Representation of Regions and Local Authorities: the Role of Second Chambers in Europe”
    CONFERENCE ON “BICAMERAL SYSTEMS AND REPRESENTATION OF REGIONS AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES: THE ROLE OF SECOND CHAMBERS IN EUROPE” Paris, 21 February 2008 organised by THE FRENCH SENATE THE CONGRESS OF LOCAL AND REGIONAL AUTHORITIES OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE in co-operation with THE PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE AND THE VENICE COMMISSION REPORT FORMS OF REPRESENTATION IN SECOND CHAMBERS: ELECTION PROCEDURES BY Mr Carlos CLOSA MONTERO (member of the European Commission for democracy through law - Venice Commission -, Spain) 1. The position of second chambers in european constitutional design: at some time during the 20th century, the use of second chambers seemed to be condemned to a corner of history, since several european countries eliminated them during the first third of the xxth century (Serbia 1901-1903; 1917 Russia; 1917 Finland; 1926 Portugal; 1928 Albania; 1949 Malta; 1982 Turkey). However, drafters of new constitutions after 1945 have shown themselves kin on having second chambers, a path continued also at the end of the xxth century in new constitutions. Thus, rather than being an extraordinary feature of european political system, it has become a common one: not least than 17 european states have second chambers.1 There is a certain correspondence between the size of states and having a second chamber: generally speaking, large countries do tend to have second chambers. In Europe, the largest countries to have a unicameral parliament are Greece, with 11 million inhabitants, and Portugal, with 10.5 million. Despite this trend, second chambers are disputed. Usually, their operative costs and the delays in passing legislation are arguments used against them.

  • 272 Final REPORT from the COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 30.6.2020 COM(2020) 272 final REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2019 ON THE APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY AND ON RELATIONS WITH NATIONAL PARLIAMENTS EN EN ANNUAL REPORT 2019 ON THE APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY AND ON RELATIONS WITH NATIONAL PARLIAMENTS 1. INTRODUCTION This is the 27th report on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, submitted under Article 9 of Protocol No 2 to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Like the 26th report, the report also covers the Commission’s relations with national Parliaments, which play a major role in applying the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. In 2019, the Commission took a number of steps to follow-up on the recommendations made by the Task Force on Subsidiarity, Proportionality and ‘Doing less more efficiently’. 2019 was a transition year between two mandates of the Commission, with fewer Commission initiatives and legislative proposals than in previous years. Consequently, the volume of work for national Parliaments in the context of the subsidiarity control mechanism and the political dialogue with the Commission temporarily decreased. The Commission received 159 opinions, none of which were reasoned opinions. In two judgments rendered in 2019, the Court of Justice of the European Union clarified the application of the principle of proportionality. 2. APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUBSIDIARITY

  • Policing in National Parliaments How Parliaments Organise Their Security
    BRIEFING Policing in national parliaments How parliaments organise their security SUMMARY National parliaments organise their security in a variety of ways. Whereas in some cases the principles of separation of powers or of parliamentary autonomy prevent police forces from entering parliamentary premises − meaning that these legislative chambers rely on in-house security services – in others the security of parliaments is ensured exclusively by the police or other state forces with responsibilities in the area of security, defence or civil protection. Other national parliaments exhibit a mixed model, whereby parliamentary security departments are supplemented by national police or military units. This briefing provides an overview of the structures responsible for maintaining security and order in and around the parliaments of 11 EU Member States, namely Belgium, Germany, Spain, Estonia, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Finland, and also 3 non-EU countries − Canada, the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US). It focuses on the competences and tasks assigned to the services responsible for the security of each national parliament and highlights modes of cooperation with other external state forces. Furthermore, the briefing indicates, for each parliament, the ultimate authority in charge of the services responsible for maintaining order and security on and off the premises. IN THIS BRIEFING Introduction Situation in selected Member States and non-EU countries Annex − Overview of security in the selected national parliaments EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Author: Carmen-Cristina Cîrlig Members' Research Service PE 679.072 – February 2021 EN EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Introduction Security in the parliaments of the EU Member States is organised in various ways.

  • The Administrative and Financial Autonomy of Parliamentary Assemblies
    The administrative and financial autonomy of parliamentary assemblies Report prepared by Mr Michel Couderc (France), adopted at the Moscow Session (September 1998) The autonomy of parliamentary assemblies is a question which one might describe as "cross-disciplinary" since it touches on all aspects of the organisation and functioning of parliaments. Even when limited to its administrative and financial dimensions, the question might seem too broad and as a result to elicit responses which are too general to be relevant. In fact the reverse is the case. I sincerely thank my fifty-two colleagues (Annex 1) for the quality and detail of their responses. This embarrassment of riches has led me to present a first report which will be at the same time both overfull and inevitably incomplete . I would therefore ask everyone to forgive me if they do not find an analytical discussion of their own response. Apart from in the Tables, I have only mentioned in particular the Assemblies which conveyed a viewpoint with especial clarity on some aspect of the problem or those which were an exception to the majority of responses. Autonomy is not therefore an "empty shell" but a concrete reality which expresses in some way and to various degrees depending on the country, the shared specificity of the parliamentary phenomenon throughout the world. This is not surprising since autonomy is defined in effect by on the one hand non- dependence and non-subordination of Assemblies in relation to the Executive, and, on the other, by the possibility of the Assembly freeing itself at least partially from the rules of ordinary law so as to follow instead its own regulations.

  • Assocation of European Senates
    Association of European Senates/Association des Sénats d’Europe 15th Meeting, London/XVème Réunion, Londres Friday 15 June 2013/vendredi 15 juin 2013 The meeting opened at 9.28 am. The Relationship between Upper and Lower Chambers Baroness D’Souza, Lord Speaker of the House of Lords, United Kingdom Good morning, everyone. Thank you all so very much for being on time. In the history of these conferences, we are making history by starting two minutes early. Welcome to Westminster for this 15th meeting of our association. It is a great honour for me to be able to host this year’s meeting. In making arrangements for today, I thought that it was very important that we should meet in the Houses of Parliament and, more particularly, in this beautiful room, the Queen’s Robing Room. Let me take a few minutes to explain the significance of our location. Since the first half of the 16th century, the two Houses of Parliament—the Commons and the Lords—have met here in the Palace of Westminster, which in the times of King Henry VIII had ceased to be a royal residence. What you see now is not the original palace, because in 1834 it was seriously damaged by fire. Our Victorian predecessors were nothing if not ruthless. Much of what remained of the earlier buildings was pulled down and the new Houses of Parliament were erected in the 1840s and 1850s. The architect was Charles Barry and the interior designer was Augustus Pugin, a church architect devoted to the gothic revival style.
