The report outlines that the Sub-Committee on European Scrutiny can simply agree to note a proposal. In the experience of my colleague, Deputy Ó Snodaigh, this happens disproportionately in measures related to Common Foreign and Security Policy. The documentation is then withheld from the sub-committee. Does this not reduce the sub-committee to little more than a rubber stamp? It is supposed to have a scrutiny role.
