European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Parliament President Roberta Metsola signed a revised Framework Agreement on April 28, 2026. The new agreement, effective immediately upon publication in the Official Journal, aims to strengthen cooperation between the two institutions, improve transparency and uphold the institutional balance set by EU Treaties. It includes commitments for the Commission to report promptly on emergency‑clause proposals, to explain provisional application of international agreements, and to increase Commissioner participation in Parliament sessions when requested. The Parliament will review its own presence in plenary debates and provide detailed reports on legislative proposals, focusing on proportionality, subsidiarity and cost implications. The agreement follows a 2024‑2029 political guideline to deepen the partnership between the Commission and Parliament.
