Proceeding contribution from Lord Slynn of Hadley (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 April 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
European Union (Amendment) Bill
As I understand it, certainly; once the court has spoken, the law is binding. However, through the co-decision procedure, it is always open to the Council—as it is to Parliament in this country—to change the law and the practice. That is what I have always understood democracy is about in this country. It is equally so in the European Union.
