The shadow of the European Council: understanding legislation on economic governance
journal contribution
posted on 2016-09-08, 08:30 authored by Edoardo Bressanelli, Nicola ChelottiNicola ChelottiThis article analyses the role of the European Council in two key
legislative packages on economic and budgetary coordination,
the Six-pack and the Two-pack, which were negotiated under the
ordinary legislative procedure. It assesses how and to what extent
the key actor in the literature on the new intergovernmentalism – the
European Council – is able to curb the powers of the supranational
institutions – the Commission and the European Parliament – in a
policy area where the community method has been applied since
the Treaty of Lisbon. It tracks the development of the legislative
negotiations – from the stages preceding the Commission’s proposal
to their conclusions, relying on official documents, press reports and
30 original interviews with key decision-makers. The strong role of
the European Council both as an agenda-setter and in the legislative
negotiations stands out, and suggests that the implications of new
intergovernmentalism may well extend beyond intergovernmental
decision-making processes.
