Interest in EU secondary legislation has never been higher.
The Environment Committee has a long track record of scrutinising EU secondary legislation. They have long been the most active.
This is important. Most EU legislation – around 97% – is a mix of implementing acts, delegated acts, and still RPS measures.
A high threshold to challenge
It is hard to challenge secondary legislation. There are many reasons for this. The threshold to block a delegated act or RPS measure in the EP is 353 votes.
The Council seems less interested in scrutinising secondary legislation from the Commission. For the delegated legislation, the Council needs a super-qualified majority – 20 Member States, representing 65% of the EU population – and for a RPS Measures QMV (15 Member States representing 65% of the EU population).
These are hard hurdles to get over. Rightfully so. If the EP, or Council, get enough votes against a Commission’s delegated act or RPS measure, the Commission can not adopt it.
What happens if a challenge is successful
For a blocked RPS measure, the Commission can (1) only submit a new draft proposal to the Regulatory Committee, or (2) submit a new ordinary legislative proposal, or (3) take no further action. There is a trend for the Commission to re-submit a proposal with the offending provision that led to the challenge being removed. The same goes for a delegated act. The Commission can (1) prepare a new delegated act, or (2) submit an ordinary legislative proposal, or (3)take no further action.
You’ll see in many of the challenges that the EP highlights the element of the proposal that they take umbrage with. I recall some cases when the Commission took notice early, amended their proposal, and re-submitted a text that would not meet a challenge.
Too much scrutiny?
Some take offence with the Environment Committee exercising their role of scrutiny. I think this is wrong. They do not do it very often. My guestimate is that they only call in less than 2% of secondary legislation that is tabled by the Commission.
Tracking the exact numbers would be easier to do if the EP provided access to their own Comitology Newsletters.
Another concern some have raised to me is that some of the challenges are political. It is naive to think that politicians won’t act in a political way. It amounts to hopes that the laws of nature come to a halt on your file.
It appears that the Council has never challenged an implementing act during scrutiny. This is a not surprising as the proposal is dealt with by a Committee made up of Member State officials.
The Environment Committee challenges implementing acts – mainly around GMOs and pesticides. They are often supported by the whole Parliament. They need a simple majority to get adopted. The Commission has to date, simply ignored the EP.
I don’t think challenges are taken lightly. It’s a lot of diligent work to prepare the written challenge and secure support.From the many challenges I’ve read, a lot of diligence has gone into preparing them.
And, as a general rule, I think that more scrutiny of legislation, whether ordinary or secondary, is a good thing.
Some trends
There are no real surprises looking at the challenges.
Most are around GMO agricultural plants and pesticides.
Successful challenges benefit from cross-party support to get through the Environment Committee and the Plenary.
There is often not much time between the file gets voted on by the Environment Committee before it is voted on the plenary.
Looking at the voting coalitions, there are familiar trends. A group of progressive MEPs – S&D, Greens, the Left – support the challenges. The EPP and ECR oppose challenges. Renew is usually split down the middle. IDG’s position varies on the issue.
The cordone santitaire is absolute.
Link to challenges
Below is the working file I have tidied up. I’ll look to update it and provide the links to all of the Commission’s replies to the challenges.
The successful challenges are highlighted – yellow for Implementing acts and red for RPS measures and delegated acts
This looks at three years of challenges by the Environment Committee.
When Wote watch comes back online, I’ll look to add their excellent links.
For those – maybe students – who want to do more research, I’ve included links to the objection, the EP procedure file, and the Committee minutes for the votes.
If there are any errors, please let me know.
The European Parliament’s Environment Committee is the most active Committee scrutinising the Commission’s output of secondary legislation.
Since the 9th legislature sat for the first time on 10 July 2019, the Environment Committee has seen 72 challenges tabled.
