Abstract

Parliamentary questions are a direct form of parliamentary scrutiny of other EU institutions and bodies, traditionally being an important tool for the opposition. This study examines how parliamentary questions are used in the European Parliament. We ascertain whether political groups representing opposition differ in their use of parliamentary questions from those who are represented in the European Commission. The article presents two main findings. First, such a difference does exist in all types of questions at the aggregated level. Groups not represented in the European Commission pose more questions than those who are represented. Secondly, it appears that the type of parliamentary question determines the groups’ behaviour. The article thus contributes to our understanding of how opposition functions in the European Parliament.

议会问题:欧洲议会内部的反对意见?
议会质询是议会对其他欧盟机构和机构进行审查的一种直接形式,传统上是反对派的重要工具。本研究考察了议会问题在欧洲议会中是如何使用的。我们确定代表反对派的政治团体在使用议会问题方面是否与代表欧盟委员会的政治团体有所不同。这篇文章提出了两个主要发现。首先,这种差异确实存在于所有类型的问题中。在欧盟委员会没有代表的团体比那些有代表的团体提出更多的问题。其次,议会问题的类型似乎决定了团体的行为。因此,这篇文章有助于我们理解欧洲议会中的反对派是如何运作的。
