Seanad debates

Thursday, 11 December 2003

Address by Mr. Brian Crowley, MEP.

 

The scrutiny of EU documents is carried out by the Joint Committee on European Affairs. I have noticed in my short time in the Oireachtas that much detail is lost in that scrutiny. Reams of paper with information about directives and proposed changes are produced. The recent debate about stem cell research was a recent example. Only 1% of the population realised that this topic had been discussed and passed three years ago. Has Mr. Crowley any thoughts on how the jargon can be simplified?
