Claudette Abela Baldacchino (S&D), in writing. - The report aims to focus attention towards greater EU integration through the link between the European Parliament and national parliaments. It highlights the channels for cooperation, the relations developed at committee level and the role developed by the Interparliamentary Conference for the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy and the Interparliamentary Conference on Economic Governance. It takes into account the early warning mechanism and the reasoned opinions delivered by national parliaments as an opportunity for ensuring effective cooperation and achieving the objectives set for legislative acts. The report considers COSAC could serve as a forum for discussion of the general state of the integration process.
