European Communities (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
For the most part the European Court of Justice does not have jurisdiction in these areas. Because of this the Bill does not include reference to Articles 1.1 to 1.14. Article 1.15, however, amends provisions relating to those limited areas under the Treaty on European Union in which the European Court of Justice does have a role. It is, therefore, necessary to include it in the list of provisions of the Treaty of Nice II which, through this Bill, are being made part of the domestic law of the State.
