European Union (Amendment) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 6 May 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
Yes, there is codecision, but the view of some of us is that that amounts to an advisory and not a legislative capacity. The European Parliament has no legislative function. In the end the Commission, together with the Council, can override what Parliament has said. That is the true situation.
