   Tabled by Gilles Lebreton, Gunnar Beck, Antonio Maria Rinaldi · ID

   Added: 17a. Proposes the introduction of a ‘red card’ procedure to complement the ‘green card’ procedure, whereby if reasoned opinions on a draft legislative act’s non-compliance with the principle of subsidiarity represent at least the 55 % of all the votes allocated to the national Parliaments under Article 7(1) of Protocol No 2, the reasoned opinions should be seen as politically binding and the draft should be withdrawn or amended to accommodate the concerns expressed; notes that this procedure would respect the balance of competences between the national and European levels, acting as an effective tool for defending subsidiarity; underlines that such a procedure would not alter the existing legislative process but would serve as an essential check, ensuring that national perspectives are duly taken into account in the European legislative process, thereby strengthening democratic legitimacy within the Union;
