Monday 4 April 2005
The debate over how national governments and parliaments can best scrutinise European legislation is of critical importance to the evolution of the EU.
This seminar marked the launch of a new pamphlet from The Foreign Policy Centre, 'UK Parliamentary Scrutiny of EU Legislation', by Sir Digby Jones (Director-General, The Confederation of British Industry), with a preface by Dr Denis MacShane MP, British Minister for Europe.
It sets out the key advantages and flaws of the current scrutiny system, and identifies the priorities for reform.
