The objectives, content, scope and duration of the delegation of power shall be explicitly defined in the European laws and framework laws. The essential elements of an area shall be reserved for the European law or framework law and accordingly shall not be the subject of a delegation of power.

European laws and framework laws shall explicitly lay down the conditions to which the delegation is subject; these conditions may be as follows:

For the purposes of (a) and (b), the European Parliament shall act by a majority of its component members, and the Council by a qualified majority.
