    Hi i studying a business and law degree and there is a module on EU law. The exams are just a few weeks away so im trying my best to prepare myself. Im trying to understand the areas which the Lisbon Treaty impacted on most significantly. From what i read, the EU parliament has more power and influence now as can now pass more legislation by Co- decison with the EU council. I have also read how this means that the Commission has less influence but im not sure how this is the case as does all legislation not have to be initiated firstly by the Commission as was the case prior to the Lisbon treaty? If im not mistaken there will most likely be a reduced number of Commissioners from 31st October 2014, but this can be changed should the EU Council choose to retain the one member per state approach.
    So what has changed and how exactly if any has the Commission lost any influence since the Lisbon treaty?

    Thanks,Regards
    Andrew

    I can recommend Chalmers on EU Law. This question is well covered off and your library should have a copy, if they don't, tell them to order one. It's €50.

    You should be able to find some good information on the Referendum Commission’s website, www.lisbontreaty2009.ie, and on the EU’s website for the Lisbon treaty - http://europa.eu/lisbon_treaty/index_en.htm.

    The Government’s “White Paper”, especially chapter five (page 49-52) which looks at the changes made to the EU institutions, does a good job breaking down the changes to the Commission.
    You can download the White Paper here (PDF)
