Davor JančićThis article analyses the constitutional, statutory and informal arrangements available to the Portuguese Assembly of the Republic for participation in EU decision making. The focus is on the 2006 European Scrutiny Act, the 2010 reform of the scrutiny procedures and the Barroso initiative.

In these respects, the Portuguese Parliament no longer deserves the epithet of a laggard.http://www.idps.unisi.it/file_download/13/04_Portuguese_Parliament.pdf
