本文探讨了常设委员会在欧洲议会（EP）内部建立共识的作用，并询问履行这一职能的能力是否保持稳定，即使在2004年6月选举后扩大成员的背景下。为此，收集了1999年7月至2006年7月欧洲议会各委员会投票行为的原始数据，并与主要参与者进行了访谈。调查结果表明，委员会的工作通常非常一致，无论是利害攸关的问题和适用的程序。与此同时，委员会制度似乎正在朝着在政策领域之间以及部分地在立法程序之间更大的区别发展。
This article examines the role of the standing committees in building consensus within the European Parliament (EP) and asks whether the ability to fulfil this function has remained stable even in the context of enlarged membership after the June 2004 elections. To this avail, original data have been collected on the voting behaviour in EP committees, from July 1999 through July 2006, and interviews with key players have been conducted. Findings show that committees generally work very consensually, regardless of the issue at stake and the procedure applied. At the same time, the committee system seems to be evolving towards greater differentiation across policy areas and, partially, across legislative procedures.
