They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.

Europäisches Parlament, Photo: Europäisches Parlament Gestaltung des Textes: Christian Högn Druck: Hausdruckerei Parlamentsdirektion Wien, im Juli 2006 2 DAS ÖSTERREICHISCHE PARLAMENT UND DIE EU-RATSPRÄSIDENTSCHAFT 2006 Mit der fortschreitenden europäischen Integration wird auch die Arbeit der natio- nalen Parlamente immer stärker von europaweiten Themen geprägt. Den Heraus- forderungen in Wirtschaft, Umwelt, Sicherheit usw. kann nur noch teilweise auf nationaler Ebene begegnet werden. Nach dem Subsidiaritätsprinzip wird die Euro- päische Union dann tätig, wenn politische Ziele auf der Ebene der Mitgliedstaaten nicht ausreichend erreicht werden können und daher besser auf Gemeinschafts- ebene verfolgt werden. In vielen Bereichen, wo die Europäische Union tätig wird, muss die Umsetzung dennoch auf nationaler Ebene erfolgen. Aber nicht nur in rechtlicher, sondern auch in politischer Hinsicht stellen die nationalen Parlamente ein Bindeglied zwischen den europäischen Bürgern und den EU-Institutionen dar. Die vielen tausenden nationalen Parlamentarier trachten danach, alle politischen Interessen ihrer Wähler entsprechend zu vertreten – und dazu zählen genauso Themenbereiche, die eine EU-Dimension haben. So liegt es in der Natur des über Jahrzehnte erfolgreichen europäischen Integrationsprozesses, dass die nationalen Parlamente immer stärker in EU-Angelegenheiten mitwirken.
