Summary: It should be recognized the existence of too many limits in the European regulation on the parliamentary committees of inquiry. It should be appealed to the European Parliament, now empowered by art. 226.3 TFEU, to exercise its own initiative to promote, with the assistance of the Commission and the Council, a new regulation to that effect. Thereby it is urgent to correct the most important shortcomings observed in the current legislation in order to improve the functioning and efficiency of the committees activities. The main goal to achieve should be to broaden and strengthen the powers of the European Parliament, which is, after all, the most democratic institution in the Union, but which, nevertheless, still has restricted instruments of political control. In that sense it should be desirable to promote the full equivalence of those instruments with those already enjoyed by their counterparts in the Member States.
