Résumé :

In this chapter, we investigate how MEPs' activity grants them extended agency within the institutional constraints of the ordinary legislative procedure and ultimately drives the politicization of EU decision-making. We compare two cases of highly politicized reforms: the Visa Code regulation and the Copyright directive. We introduce the concept of framing activism: the promotion by an actor of an antagonistic conception of a public problem, as a means of engaging conflict with other actors and "existing" in the collective dramaturgy of policy-making. We identify three types of framing activism strategies: transinstitutionalnal strategies (in both cases); a blocking strategy (Visa case); a politicization of expertise strategy (copyright case).
