SURRENDER PROCEDURES BETWEEN THE EU AND
ICELAND AND NORWAY (8762/06, 9226/06)
Letter from the Chairman to Joan Ryan
MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Home Office
Thank you for your letter of 12 September 2006[108]
which was considered by Sub-Committee E at its meeting of 25 October
2006.
We note your response to the points raised in
our letter. We are left with the impression that you are simply
reluctant to pursue these additional matters at this stage in
the negotiations. While we appreciate that in discussions among
27 States any agreement reached is often fragile, it is disappointing
that small modifications which could lead to greater certainty
and cohesion with other European instruments appear to be rejected
as a matter of course. In such circumstances, you will agree that
deposit of documents at the earliest possible stage is critical
to ensure that the Committee can play a meaningful role in the
elaboration of such instruments.
The Commission decided to clear the agreement
from scrutiny.
