RIGHT TO VOTE AND STAND AS A CANDIDATE
IN ELECTIONS TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT (5204/07, 5214/07)
Letter from the Chairman to Rt Hon Baroness
Ashton of Upholland, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Department
for Constitutional Affairs
These documents were considered by Sub-Committee
E at its meeting on 21 February. We note that the Government consider
the removal of the attestation procedure and of the exchange of
information regime to be sensible steps. We agree and support
the less burdensome approach now being proposed by the Commission.
The Committee decided to clear the documents
from scrutiny.
