National Parliaments and European Commission: 2008 Report

The EC Commission has published its annual report on its relations with national parliaments (COM (2009) 343).

Back in 2006, the Commission published a rather verbose paper (Com (2006) 211) stating on page 9 that it would provide all national parliaments in the member States not just consultation documents prepared by the Commission (green and white papers and communications), as already required by the Protocol to the Treaty of Amsterdam, but also all new Commission proposals. We noted this here.

Since then, the number of opinions received from national parliaments has increased steadily from 53 in 2006, 115 in 2007 to 200 in 2008.

The 2008 report makes quite interesting reading generally. There's a section on the effects of the opinions received on policy. The opinions of national parliaments tended to be in line with the positions taken by the member States in Council.

I need to point out, that in all the time I've spent on-line, following information sites, I have not read one as helpful and well crafted as this one, I don't frequently comment on web logs nonetheless for yourself I felt the need to make an exception, this is certainly truly top work and fully opposite to the drivel, which i spend much of my time on line, reading. Thanks for taking the time and investing the effort to present your readers with a 1st class report. I look forward to reading alot more of your work, again cheers.

It’s not easy finding any stocks with upward momentum today, but Apple is bucking the trend, as it crested the $400 per-share barrier earlier today. A few more trading sessions like that and Apple will overtake Exxon Mobile as the biggest company on Earth.

１１日付のオーストラリア紙シドニー?モーニング?ヘラルドによると、オバマ米大統領とギラード豪首相は来週、豪州北部ダーウィンに米海兵隊を駐留させると発表する。豪州での米軍戦闘部隊の本格駐留は初めて。中国の軍備増強に対抗するため、米国防総省が導入を進める海軍と空軍の統合作戦構想「エアシーバトル構想」の一環とみられる。
