Line 1: {{Short description|Reporter appointed by an organization to report on its meeting proceedings}}

For example, [[Dick Marty]] was appointed ''rapporteur'' by the [[Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe]] to investigate ==Rapporteur of the European Parliament==
The ''rapporteur'' is an eminent role in the legislative process of the [[European Parliament]] (EP). They are a [[Member of the European Parliament]] (MEP) responsible for handling a legislative proposal – both procedurally and with regard to its substance – on behalf of the [[European Commission]], the [[Council of the European Union]] or the EP.<ref>[https://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=IM-PRESS&reference=20060725STO09938&language=EN A rapporteur - the person who presents reports to Parliament] Retrieved 1 April 2019.</ref> Based on the relevant proposal, the ''rapporteur'' is appointed by the relevant [[Committees of the European Parliament]] charged with drawing up a legislative recommendation for the EP to vote on. The ''rapporteur'', therefore, has a substantial influence in the process leading to the adoption of EU-legislation.<ref>[https://www.europeanlawmonitor.org/what-is-guide-to-key-eu-terms/eu-parliament-what-is-a-rapporteur.html What is a rapporteur?] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190403083319/https://www.europeanlawmonitor.org/what-is-guide-to-key-eu-terms/eu-parliament-what-is-a-rapporteur.html |date=2019-04-03 }} Retrieved 1 April 2019.</ref> Their key functions are: ==See also==▼ * Analyze the proposal and, based on this, draft an EP Own-initiative Report *[[Special Rapporteur]]▼ * Lead discussion within the relevant Committee * Consult with third party specialists and parties affected * Recommend the political line to be followed * Present the report to the EP Plenary * Lead negotiations with European Commission or Council of the European Union, where needed.<ref>[https://www.eumonitor.eu/9353000/1/j9vvik7m1c3gyxp/vhcmdex0ovsn The roles of a rapporteur] Retrieved 1 April 2019.</ref> ==Shadow rapporteur of the European Parliament== {{Europarl}}▼ Political groups within the committee in charge of drafting a legislative recommendation may appoint a '''shadow rapporteur''' to represent their views.<ref>[http://en.euabc.com/word/2145 Shadow rapporteur] Retrieved 1 April 2019.</ref> ▲==See also== {{law-stub}}▼ ▲* [[ * [[Rapporteur Judge]] * [[Special rapporteur (disambiguation)|Special rapporteur]] * [[United Nations special rapporteur]] ==References==
