Abstract

Much of the Europeanization debate revolves around the impact of Brussels on the domestic legislatures of the member states, in particular the domination of their legislatures by the binding and enforceable activities of the EU. Because this impact is a direct result of the amount of legislative activities at the EU level, this chapter documents EU legislative decision-making and explores the consequences of treaty revisions and enlargements, which have changed the goals and conditions for EU legislative decision-making over time. The famous prediction of the former Commission president Jacques Delors, claiming that 80% of economic legislation, perhaps of taxation and social legislation, would originate in Brussels (6.7.1988. EP 2-367/157), was made at the end of the 1980s when EU legislative activities had reached a peak in the attempt to complete the Common Market by the effective application of qualified majority voting in the Council of Minister until the end of 1992.
