78   Protocol No 10 corresponds to Protocol No 34 to the Constitutional Treaty Back

79   With the addition of an Article 7(3) under which 55% of the Members of the Council or a majority of the EP prevent further discussion of a proposal on the grounds that it infringes the principle of subsidiarity. Back
