Еволуција надлежности Eвропског парламента
Competence Evolution of the European Parliament

Summary/Abstract: Having in mind the principle of democratic legitimacy of governments, creators of the Treaties establishing the European Communities, held that the Community institutional system needed parliamentary body that would supervise the executive. Therefore, the European Parliament as a democratic body was ranked first on the list of institutions in the Treaty on the European Economic Community. As it is mentioned above, we could get the impression that the European Parliament similarly to the national parliaments in the classical states has legislative power, budgetary authority and right to appoint and dismiss the government. However, European parliament, had until the end 70’s of the last century symbolic advisory role in the budgeting and legislative acts of the Community, then gradually with constant political struggle became co-legislator and indispensable participant in the process of adopting the budget and appointment of the Commission. The political objective of the European Parliament has actually been to acquire competencies of the Assembly in the federal state regulation and thus federalize the constitutional system of the European Union.
