• Resumen

  • Among the epochal crises experienced by the EU in the last 15 years, the Euro-zone and the Covid-19 stand out for their impact on the Euro-national economic and financial governance structure, which challenges the relationship between the executive and the legislative branches and raises major concerns for the role of national parliaments. This contribution aims to analyse how national parliaments have reacted to these challenges in order to identify elements of continuity or discontinuity. After considering the contextual entry conditions met by parliaments in the two outbreaks, the article analyses the scrutiny procedures and practices developed in the European Semester and in the post-Covid recovery framework. The assessment witnesses the resilience of national parliaments’ scrutiny vis-à-vis major changes in the Euro-national governance structures. It confirms an adaptive capacity outside of any real ‘learning curve’ between the two outbreaks, but with potential innovations on the ground of the ex post scrutiny.
