Article 48 of the Lisbon Treaty

 **Article 48 of the Lisbon Treaty** outlines the procedures for revising the treaties that govern the European Union. It establishes two main methods:

1. **Ordinary Revision Procedure** – This involves a formal process where proposals for treaty amendments are submitted by a Member State, the European Parliament, or the European Commission. The European Council then decides whether to convene a convention to examine the proposals before a conference of Member State representatives finalizes the amendments.

2. **Simplified Revision Procedures** – These allow for adjustments to certain treaty provisions without requiring a full convention or intergovernmental conference. This method is used for changes that do not expand the EU’s competences.
