    L'association des parlements nationaux au contrôle du principe de subsidiarité
    in Revue de l'Union européenne/Revue du Marché Commun et de l'Union européenne , n. 556, mars ,  2012 ,  192-196
    The new check of the European subsidiarity principle by national parliaments means that the conventional concept that democracy could be achieved only in a state has been excceded. Indeed it results in the construction of transnational parliamentarism; it also organises the participation of national parliaments in the supranational law-making procedure. In the same time, which that check such as created by the Lisbon treaty, national elected representatives, will pronounce on the breakdown of jurisdictions, between the two levels i.e. the Union and the States. That is why, in the European context, that principle is of a federal nature or essence. In line with that, such a check also allows national parliaments to ensure the protection of their own parliamentary duties, and therefore to achieve a rebalancing with the European institutions.
