Richard Corbett on Lisbon
New!
Thu 8th Apr 2010
Richard Corbett, former MEP, and now member of the cabinet of the President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, spoke at the Federal Union conference on 6 March. Keith Best reports: Richard Corbett commenced by asking the audience if they could think of any other international structure as democratic as the EU with a directly elected Parliament etc and they concluded that there is none. All EU legislation requires prior scrutiny by the national parliaments, then the agreement of both the Council of Ministers and the EU Parliament. Thus, there is first an eight week period for national parliaments to look at draft legislation.
