Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

2:00 pm

Mr. Gregory Canning:

Similar to the process in Ireland, the European Parliament will decide which committee should consider the proposal. It will probably be either the agriculture and rural development committee or the environment, public health and food safety committee. The committee will appoint the rapporteur and shadow the rapporteurs of other committees will follow the process.
