“…Raunio (2000) has shown how transnational contact between parliamentarians grew in the 1990s, in parallel with the EP's empowerment. In trade politics, we may expect a 'pragmatic adaptation' (Rosén 2016) of parliamentarians to the new Lisbon Treaty provisions empowering the EP and NPs (Jančić 2017). Taking into account parliamentary rights at both the supranational and the national level, and that each actor could be a potential veto player in the negotiation of (mixed) trade agreements, we might expect a pragmatic adaptation to this new reality of enhanced rights on both levels, and hence increased levels of cooperation.…”

“…Research on the role of national parliaments in the EU, however, suggests that access to information varies across the member states, and that some parliaments have access to classified documents, while others only to lower levels of classification or not at all (e.g. Maurer 2015, Jancic 2017 As in the area of intelligence, the parliamentary procedures for accessing secret information in the realm of security also differ across the EU. 9 The reasons for this variation are largely unaccounted for.…”

“…There were also informal visits—facilitated by the EP's Liaison Office in Washington—by EP delegations to the US, where MEPs met with the US negotiating team (Jančić ). The EP also coordinated extensively with the US Congress about TTIP (Jančič ). With the creation of reading rooms containing all TTIP negotiation documents in EU national capitals in spring 2016, members of national parliaments were also given the chance to gather more detailed information.…”

“…With the creation of reading rooms containing all TTIP negotiation documents in EU national capitals in spring 2016, members of national parliaments were also given the chance to gather more detailed information. In 2015, an inter‐parliamentary meeting took place on TTIP (Jančič ). Finally, INTA organized a lunch meeting with national parliaments in November 2016 (Observation, November 2016).…”
