Abstract
After and even in the run-up to the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, national parliaments have implemented new procedures to apply the instruments in practice. However, five years from the entry of the Lisbon Treaty into force, national parliaments are still evaluating the means of their influence and control over the EU law and policies. National parliaments would determine their own position and contribute to further development in the European cooperation by becoming more actively involved in the decision-making of the European Union. Not just as the guardians of the subsidiarity principle, granted the possibility to block and delay draft laws, but also as proactive players in a constructive sense, with a right to invite the European Commission to table legislative proposals either to create new legislation or to amend the existing one. The role of national parliaments can be increased if they as such have more influence on the content of legislation.
