    TITLE I

    INSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS

    CHAPTER 1

    THE INSTITUTIONS

    SECTION 1

    THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

    Article 226

    (ex Article 193 TEC)

    In the course of its duties, the European Parliament may, at the request of a quarter of its component Members, set up a temporary Committee of Inquiry to investigate, without prejudice to the powers conferred by the Treaties on other institutions or bodies, alleged contraventions or maladministration in the implementation of Union law, except where the alleged facts are being examined before a court and while the case is still subject to legal proceedings.

    The temporary Committee of Inquiry shall cease to exist on the submission of its report.

    The detailed provisions governing the exercise of the right of inquiry shall be determined by the European Parliament, acting by means of regulations on its own initiative in accordance with a special legislative procedure, after obtaining the consent of the Council and the Commission.
