   The revised agreement strengthens Parliament's oversight role, adding requirements for commissioner presence at Question Time and detailed information on the College. New provisions stress compliance with the Treaties and institutional balance, and add commitments on impact assessments and monitoring of the agreement. Several changes rephrase existing commitments without altering their substance, such as on urgent requests and international agreements. One formal change corrects the addressee of the signing instruction from Council to Commission and renumbers the paragraph.
