EUROPEAN REGULATORY AGENCIES (7032/05)
Letter from the Chairman to Rt Hon Geoff
Hoon MP, Minister for Europe, Foreign and Commonwealth Office
Thank you for your letter of 25 July 2006[91]
which was considered by Sub-Committee E at its meeting on 11 October.
We note that there has been no progress on the Commission's proposal
since last year and are grateful for your assurance that you will
keep the Committee informed of any future developments.
We also note that the Government are currently
considering the vires issues underlying the proposal to
create European Regulatory Agencies and you draw attention to
work being undertaken following the recent ruling of the European
Court in Case C-217/04. We look forward to receiving a detailed
Note from the Government in the near future. This is an issue
which the Committee may wish to discuss at the meeting on 1 November.
The Committee decided to retain the proposal
under scrutiny.
