Abstract
This chapter seeks to address the likely impact of the Lisbon Treaty on the European Parliament and its role in the decision-making process. I shall begin by considering the role of the EP in relation to the legislative process, and then consider the powers accorded to the EP in relation to other matters such as the appointment of Commission and the President thereof and its power over the dismissal or censure of the Commission. It is important to understand that the formal legal powers accorded to the EP by the provisions of the Lisbon Treaty are only part of the story and that these must be seen against the backdrop of how the institutions have interacted in the past and how are they are likely to do so in the future.
