FOLLOW-UP CONFERENCE ON THE PARLIAMENTARY DIMENSION OF THE EUROPEAN SECURITY AND DEFENCE POLICY (ESDP) 
 
Federal Parliament of Belgium – Hemicycle of the Senate 
Brussels, 6-7 November 2001 
 
 
 
REVISED NEW PROPOSAL OF THE RAPPORTEUR 
(version of 7 November 2001) 
 
Motion tabled by the German Delegation 
 
For a decision 
 
 
 
The Heads of State and Government are being called upon to extend the agenda of the forthcoming Intergovernmental Conference to include deepening integration in the area of foreign and security policy. 
 
The terrorist attacks in the United States in September have clearly shown that Europe must face up to a new challenge. 
 
The Common Foreign and Security Policy must nevertheless be subject to common parliamentary scrutiny involving both the national parliaments and the European Parliament. 
 
The national parliaments, the European Parliament and the Assembly of Western European Union will submit proposals on parliamentary scrutiny of the ESDP to the Convention responsible for preparing EU reforms.
