DescriptionArgues that European Commission was the key driver behind the establishment of the comitology system in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Abstract
Argues that the empowerment of the European Parliament in the Amsterdam Treaty came about because the EP was a "constitutional agenda-setter" in the procedure leading up to the treaty change. Abstract Pursues the question to what extent the chairman of the European convention was able to influence the body's outcome with regard to the constitutional treaty, by distinguishing between the form and the substance of the decisions. Abstract Discusses the policy cycle regarding the reform of internal financial control in the European Commission and explains the agenda-setting, alternative-specification, and decisional processes involved. Abstract Based on a principal-agent approach to the Amsterdam Treaty, this article focuses on the delegation of powers to the EU level and the influence of EU institutions on agenda-setting. Abstract Argues that the success of the European Convention in producing a Constitutional Treaty was possible because of the agenda control exercised by the Praesidium and in particular its President.
