Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Ackner (Crossbench). It was answered on Monday, 12 December 2005.


EU: Criminal Law

Question
My Lords, is the answer to the question simply "No"? The European Court of Justice has not issued a judgment agreeing that the European Commission has the power to require. All it has done is to issue a judgment which enables it to make a proposal, which is quite different.
Answer

My Lords, I thank the noble and learned Lord for his clarity. I was striving for it, but he has achieved it.
