In order to prepare the debate on scrutiny of European policy by the national Parliaments, two questionnaires have been prepared : one dealing with the member states, the other one dealing with the applicant states. 1�) Parliaments of member states. The first questionnaire, designed for member states, aims at showing the different changes that took place in the last few years in the scrutiny of european policy. It should also allow to establish the impact of the provisions included in the Protocol of the Treaty of Amsterdam on the role of the National Parliaments in the EU.
2�) Parliaments of applicant states The second questionnaire, designed for applicant states should enable to draw a comparison between the operation of parliamentary committees dealing with EU access in applicant member states. Besides, an update of the European Parliament 1998 study of the workings of committees dealing with EU access should be useful. We have updated this research as much as possible, just in French for the moment. All participants could assess the information and supplement it when necessary.
