There are five proposals before the committee for decision today, ranging from scrutiny of the gas supply to posting of workers.

Any decision made today on the subsidiarity aspect of these proposals will not prohibit the Oireachtas committees scrutinising them in detail in the future.

COM (2016) 52 is a proposal regarding measures to safeguard the security of the gas supply. On the basis that there are no apparent subsidiarity concerns, it is proposed that this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny by the committee at this time.
