The sub-committee points out that the usual procedure for legislative measures under Pillar 1 is by regulation or directive. The procedure being used here is a proposal for a decision under Article 166 of the treaty. Draft regulations and draft directives must come to the sub-committee for scrutiny within four weeks of being received from the EU Commission. As this is not a draft regulation or draft directive it was not submitted. This runs counter to the spirit of the EU Scrutiny Act 2002. I am sure many Members share my concern that this important issue deserves much more consideration.
