I had not seen the Minister of State's script and at the speed he read it, I found it difficult to keep up. The background to the adaptation regulation is the need to give effect to the new system set out in Article 290 of the Lisbon treaty, which substantially modifies the framework for powers to be conferred on the Commission by the Council and the European Parliament. Are we giving more power to the Commission than it already has or am I picking this up wrong?
