    Les procédures de décision prévues par les traités après Lisbonne: quelle lisibilité?
    in Revue de l'Union européenne/Revue du Marché Commun et de l'Union européenne , n. 549, juin ,  2011 ,  396-402
    The assessment against understandability criteria, of procedure systems specified by primary law since the Lisbon Treaty came into effect leads to the following finding: the limits of the proceedings rationalisation/clarification effort made by the new treaty are perceptible whatever the approach taken, macro-procedural (review of procedural system as a whole) or micro-procedural (attention given to the specific process of the systems key proceedings, i.e. the ordinary legislative proceedings). Continuation of unnamed procedures, unexpected number of proceedings, and form of procedural mixing showing ill-named proceedings, such are the three factors that affect the full understandability of the procedural system as a whole. The good understanding of the ordinary legislative proceedings described in article 294 TFUE is affected, firstly because of omissions or paradoxical information regarding possibilities likely to affect their process, and secondly, due to be complexity of the legal system that is to govern the qualified majority vote at the Council, a voting method formally provided for in article 294 TFUE.
