APPENDIX 6: WRITTEN CONTRIBUTIONS AND
REASONED OPINIONS BY NATIONAL PARLIAMENTS
This table shows:
(a) the total number of written opinions submitted
by national parliaments and chambers in each of 2010, 2011 and
2012. These totals include written contributions under the Barroso
initiative, and reasoned opinions submitted under Protocol 2.
At the time of publication figures were not available for the
total number of written opinions submitted in 2013.
(b) the number of reasoned opinions submitted
by national parliaments and chambers in each of 2010, 2011, 2012
and 2013.
These figures should be taken as an approximate guide
only. Different documents can give different figures, for example
depending on whether a reasoned opinion relating to two proposals
counts as one or two opinions.
