WRITTEN QUESTION E-0776/03

by Carlos Bautista Ojeda (Verts/ALE) to the Council

(12 March 2003)

Subject: Comitology

The committees established pursuant to Decision 1999/468/EC(1), laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission, comprise one representative per Member State, plus a Commission representative who acts as chairman.

Can the Council tell me whether there is any problem in Member States' sending representatives of regional governments as members of these committees? How many regional representatives, if any, are currently members of these committees?

(1) OJ L 184, 17.7.1999, p. 23.

Reply

(21 July 2003)

The Council would inform the Honourable Member that the Commission is responsible for determining the number of regional representatives who are currently members of committees established pursuant to Council Decision 1999/468/EC. Moreover, it is for each Member State to define the composition of its delegation within those committees.
