Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
European Union (Amendment) Bill
Perhaps I have misunderstood my hon. Friend's amendment. The situation as regards the article 133 committee is worrying, but his amendment would remove from the treaty provisions that would make the special committee more accountable. Article 207 in the consolidated texts of the treaties says:"““The Commission shall report regularly to the special committee””—" that is the bit my hon. Friend wishes to remove—"““and to the European Parliament on the progress of negotiations.””" Would his amendment not remove the accountability that he feels is currently lacking?
