The Co-decision Trap | ||
in Intereconomics , Volume 50, Issue 1, January 2015 , 2015 , 52-58 | ||
Since the 1980s, the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy has undergone a series of reforms that were facilitated by the changes in decision-making rules such as the introduction of the qualified majority vote. This article argues that the introduction of the co-decision procedure under the Lisbon Treaty, which increased the European Parliament’s legislative powers, has generated a “co-decision trap” that has hindered further reforms. | ||
