The essay concerns the topic of national parliaments as democracy firming bodies in the European policy process. Although direct parliamentary involvement in EU affairs has been considered rather integration hindering than promoting factor, assembly plays an important role in legitimisation and implementation of political agreements. The paper focuses particularly on the influence that national parliaments have on national and thus European decision-making process. The aim of the study is to figure out variations in the level and type of legislative engagement in the European affairs. To illustrate this ever-complicating law and policymaking process, the essay refers to four Member States. Those are Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Italy a group of states representing both EU newcomers and a founding country, parliamentary versus semi-presidential systems and also, mono- versus bicameral parliament. Finally, referring to the European attitude of politicians of these four countries, the text outlines the perspectives of parliamentary involvement in the European multi-level system.
