Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

7:15 pm

Mr. Oliver Gilvarry:

There is a framework for oversight by the Commission. It is there as an observer but it is a point that we have flagged within the Council working party that these people are making decisions without involvement in a national competent authority, so if a decision is made that has an impact on an entity, where does the cost fall if there is compensation? It is a point we have raised and we await a response from the Commission.
