This is a good time for us to intensify cooperation between our parliaments. The issues of ordering and streamlining the work of national parliaments in the EU are here the fundamental recipe for increasing trust in the EU," said the Speaker of the Sejm after his meeting with the President of the Bundestag, Wolfgang Schäuble. He also stressed that cooperation between national parliaments and the European Parliament should be developed, and that consideration should be given to the possibility of veto rights and legislative initiatives by groups of states within the framework of existing treaties.
The interviewees agreed that current EU procedures require greater transparency. According to them, information policy should be strengthened, so that citizens understand EU decisions and what is happening in the EU debate. Improved trust in EU institutions could also have a positive impact on the turnout for the European elections, which is currently far too low. Marshal Kuchciński reiterated his vision of a Europe of united, solidary states. He stressed the need to strengthen national parliaments in the decision-making process and in making EU laws.
