Charakterystyka konsultacji jako specjalnej procedury ustawodawczej Unii Europejskiej
Although consultation is a key legislative procedure, it is the subject of few studies in comparison to codecision/ordinary legislative procedure. This lacuna can be explained by a widespread, rationalist thesis shared by a majority of EU researchers that consultation is scientifcally trivial as the European Parliament has limited power to give non-binding opinions for the Commission proposals; therefore, the main decision-maker is the Council that decides whether to incorporate or ignore the EP’s amendments in the legislative act. But this leads to a paradoxical situation – we still do not know anything about the course and effects of procedure that generates the most legislation. The article is an attempt to fill the above-mentioned gap. By using the constructivist perspective, it shows that despite the formal limitations in consultation, the Parliament has many informal instruments which it can use to reinforce its demands successively. For example, it is able to affect the shape of the project at the preparatory phase, delay its opinion and, thus, block the entire legislative process, get Commission’s support for its amendments in order to persuade the Council to incorporate its demands, and use argumentative and socialization effects during direct, secret talks in trialogues with the Council and the Commission. Therefore, under certain conditions, the Parliament can acquire dominant position in consultation.
