It is more accurate to call it an exchange of letters than an Interinstitutional Agreement, since that is what has governed the petitions procedure since 1989. I would remind the honourable Member, however, that it is actually Parliament’s services which should take the initiative in revising this agreement.
Plus que d’un accord interinstitutionnel, il faudrait parler d’un échange de lettres, puisque c’est ce qu’il y a réellement depuis 1989, sur le fonctionnement des pétitions.
