Comitology : Hijacking European Power? New Edition October 2011

Descriere

Will administration bypass politics with the new Lisbon Treaty?

What consequences and means of action?

50 directives are adopted each year under co-decision against 2.500 regulations in comitology. This technocratic drift covers all current issues: rosé wines, body scanners, GMOs...

People understand the word "comitology" to mean a higher, mysterious and non-transparent power. The Lisbon Treaty introduces another comitology reform but it is as yet unclear what comitology will look like after the reform and how it will be implemented.

This will be one of the big issues of 2010.
