34Second, Article 12(b) TEU, under which national parliaments contribute to the good functioning of the EU by seeing to it that the principle of subsidiarity is respected, empowers national parliaments to ensure (i) respect for that principle when EU institutions exercise a competence and (ii) the good functioning of the Union. That provision does not refer to national legislation but to EU draft legislative acts.
