Democratic Control of European Foreign Policy

Roland Bieber ^*1

Introduction

The Committee on External Economic Relations, the Political Affairs Committee and the Committee on Institutional Affairs have been considering the way in which the European Parliament's role in shaping Community foreign policy can be increased.

The following study is designed to provide a basis for these reflections. It is divided into three parts, the first examining the conditions governing and the limits of parliamentary influence on political and treaty-based foreign relations, the second dealing with the current legal situation following the entry into force of the SEA and the problems arising therefrom, and the third discussing several models for the further development of the current law.
