  4. LegislativePower The European Parliament shares the power to decide on laws equally with the Council of the European Union. The Commission sends its proposal to Parliament and the Council, but the Parliament can also ask the Commission to present legislative proposals . The codecision procedure was introduced by the Maastricht Treaty on European Union (1992), and extended and made more effective by the Amsterdam Treaty (1999). With the Lisbon Treaty that took effect on 1 December 2009, the renamed ordinary legislative procedure became the main legislative procedure of the EU´s decision-making system.
