Abstract

The aim of this book is the empirical evaluation of Brussels’ influence on domestic legislatures. The previous chapters have empirically determined the amount of legislative activities at the EU level, which potentially impact the activities in the domestic legislatures. Formally, we saw that the EU has deepened the relationships among the member states during the last 30 years by extending the policy competencies to additional policy areas and expanding qualified majority voting in the Council with the participation of the European Parliament. These changes were performed by treaty revisions and intended to facilitate and legitimate the adoption of Commission proposals. At the same time, the EU has increased the number of member states from nine to 27 countries, starting with Southern enlargement in the beginning of the 1980s, followed by the Northern round in the mid-1990s, and most recently the Eastern enlargements in the beginning of this century.
