What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Recalls the utmost importance of parliamentary scrutiny in the Union’s legislative process and reiterates its call for Parliament’s right to initiate policy proposals
• Believes that European legislation should be fit for purpose, proportionate, clear, transparent, future-proof and comprehensive in order to effectively benefit citizens and stakeholders
• Notes also that, in 2020, of a total number of 39 chambers of national parliaments, only eight issued reasoned opinions, that, in 2021, that number fell to seven and that, in 2022, it increased to 13
