Parliament may decide, on a proposal from the committee responsible, a political group or at least thirty-seven Members, to request the Commission and the Council to take part in a debate before negotiations with the applicant State commence.
Pamatojoties uz atbildīgās komitejas, politiskās grupas vai vismaz trīsdesmit septiņu deputātu priekšlikumu, Parlaments var pieņemt lēmumu uzaicināt Komisiju vai Padomi piedalīties debatēs pirms sarunu uzsākšanas ar kandidātvalsti.
