Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Stresses that national parliaments should be involved as early as possible in the legislative process, preferably immediately after publication of the roadmap and during the consultation phase; considers that there should also be greater focus on subsidiarity before a new legal act is tabled and that, in particular, the consultation phase should be used to proactively gather the views of national parliaments and to register their concerns, since that might avoid use of the 'yellow card' and avoid problems during the negotiation phase;
