There were two proposals before the committee for decision, ranging from the Schengen measure to the proposal on tax disclosure. On COM (2016) 290 - Schengen visas for third country nationals, on the basis that there are no apparent subsidiarity concerns, it is proposed that this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. However, it is suggested it be scrutinised further by the relevant sectoral committee once it is established. Is that agreed? Agreed.

On COM (2016) 198 - disclosure of income tax information in certain undertakings and branches, the committee is of the opinion that there has been a breach of subsidiarity. Therefore, it is proposed to send a reasoned opinion to the EU institution. A reasoned opinion must be proposed and agreed to by way of a motion of the House. Members should be aware that the deadline is 15 June. Is that agreed? Agreed.

It is proposed that the committee adjourn until 10 a.m. tomorrow when we will consider the report on the reasoned opinion.
