This text analyses the development of internal procedures within the European Parliament through modifications to the Rules of Procedure, & how this impacts the legislative powers of the institution. The work assumes that the treaty revisions must be studied in a wider context to fully understand its real impact on European institutions & the EU as a whole. For a complete understanding of the European Parliament's legislative role in the EU, it is not enough to chart formal increases to its powers in treaties; it is necessary to examine how these formal changes in law & treaties are reflected in the Parliament's internal reforms. The aim of the text is to examine revisions to the EP Rules of Procedure, provide its analysis in historical sequence & to verify the hypothesis that the Rules of Procedure present an instrument through which this European institution can maximize its potential in the legislative sphere.
