Other Acts P6_TA-PROV (2013)0598 (12/12/2013)

Type: Acts of the European Union: European Parliament Resolution on constitutional problems of a multitier governance in the European Union

Authority: European Authorities - European Union: European Parliament

Date: 12/12/2013

Subject: The European Parliament reiterates its call for a genuine Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) enhancing the Union’s competences in the field of economic policy and strengthening its budgetary capacity. The European Parliament reiterates that to be effectively legitimate and democratic, the governance of a genuine EMU must be placed within the institutional framework of the Union. It emphasises that to be consistent with its nature of a means to promote integration, safeguard the unity of the EU and guarantee substantial respect of the principle of equality, differentiation must remain open and has to aim at finally including all Member States. Therefore, it calls on the Member States, in circumstances where there is a divergence in political direction between Member States preventing progress, to expand the principle of enhanced cooperation to social and employment policies. Finally, it takes the view that any formal differentiation of parliamentary participation rights with regard to the origin of Members of the European Parliament represents discrimination on grounds of nationality.

Classification: Equality - Art. 21 Non discrimination
