The Council has taken note of the Framework Agreement on relations between the European Parliament and the Commission signed by the two Institutions on 20 October 2010.
|
Il-Kunsill ħa nota tal-ftehim qafas dwar ir-relazzjonijiet bejn il-Parlament Ewropew u l-Kummissjoni, iffirmat fl- 20 ta' Otttubru 2010 minn dawn iż-żewġ istituzzjonijiet.
|
|
The Council, which was not party to the negotiating of the Framework Agreement, points out that compliance with the founding Treaties of the Union, in the terms in which they have been ratified by the Member States, is the fundamental principle governing the existence and the functioning of the Union. The Treaties define exhaustively the respective powers conferred on the Institutions (Article 13(2) TEU). Those powers may not be modified or supplemented by the Institutions themselves either unilaterally or by agreement between them.
|
Il-Kunsill, li ma kienx parti min-negozjati ta' dan il-ftehim qafas, ifakkar li r-rispett għat-trattati li jikkostitwixxu l-Unjoni, fit-termini li bihom ġew ratifikati mill-Istati Membri, huwa l-prinċipju fundamentali li jirregola l-eżistenza u l-funzjonament tal-Unjoni. It-Trattati jiddefinixxu b'mod eżawrjenti l-kompetenzi rispettivi tal-Istituzzjonijiet (Artikolu 13(2), TUE). Dawn il-kompetenzi ma jistgħux jiġu emendati u lanqas supplimentati mill-Istituzzjonijiet infushom, la b'mod unilaterali u lanqas permezz ta' qbil bejniethom.
|
|
The Council notes that several provisions of the Framework Agreement have the effect of modifying the institutional balance set out in the Treaties in force, according the European Parliament prerogatives that are not provided for in the Treaties and limiting the autonomy of the Commission and its President. The Council is particularly concerned by the provisions on international agreements, infringement proceedings against Member States and transmission of classified information to the European Parliament.
|
Il-Kunsill jinnota li diversi dispożizzjonijiet tal-ftehim qafas għandhom l-effett li jimmodifikaw il-bilanċ istituzzjonali kif jirriżulta mit-trattati fis-seħħ, billi jagħtu lill-Parlament Ewropew il-prerogattivi li mhumiex previsti mit-trattati u billi jillimitaw l-awtonomija tal-Kummissjoni u tal-President tagħha. Il-Kunsill huwa partikolarment imħasseb dwar id-dispożizzjonijiet rigward il-ftehimiet internazzjonali, il-proċeduri ta' ksur kontra l-Istati Membri u t-trasmissjoni ta' informazzjoni klassifikata lill-Parlament Ewropew.
|
|
The Framework Agreement cannot be applied to the Council. The Council will submit to the Court of Justice any act or action of the European Parliament or of the Commission performed in application of the provisions of the Framework Agreement that would have an effect contrary to the interests of the Council and the prerogatives conferred upon it by the Treaties.
|
Il-ftehim qafas ma jistax jiġi applikat fir-rigward tal-Kunsill. Il-Kunsill għandu jissottometti fil-Qorti tal-Ġustizzja kwalunkwe att jew azzjoni tal-Parlament Ewropew jew tal-Kummissjoni mwettaq b'applikazzjoni tad-dispożizzjonijiet ta' dan il-ftehim qafas li jmur kontra l-interessi tal-Kunsill jew il-prerogattivi li jagħtuh it-trattati.
