Legal Terms - Assent Procedure
The Single European Act of 1986 provided a procedure that enhanced the authority of the European Parliament.
The European Commission, which is not elected by the public. Previously, this rule was in effect when a new legislative measure was read once in Parliament. Parliament had two options: either approve the bill as it was presented, or reject it. Parliament did not have the authority to make changes to the measure. According to the Lisbon Treaty of 2007, the assent procedure has been replaced by the regular legislative procedure in almost all areas. In the few areas where it is still used, it is referred to as the consent procedure.
