". Mr President, I remember that when my first report was voted on a few months ago, the Commission memorably stated that when it took decisions under the comitology procedure it would be willing to give information to Parliament, but not full information. This caused great hilarity in the House at the time. Also, if Parliament objected to a decision it would 'possibly' take account of Parliament's objection. As you can imagine this caused consternation in the House. That is why the report was referred back to committee. I can now report that we have looked at the matter further. We have had intense discussions with the Commission and what is before you today is a result of those contacts. The Commission has agreed to forward to Parliament all the information laid down in the interinstitutional agreement that we already have in principle with the Commission. If Parliament objects to an implementing measure adopted under comitology, then the Commission either withdraw it, amend it or take account of Parliament's objection in some other way, or come before the House to make a statement to explain why it is taking any other course of action. That is a significant step forward. It is not ideal, but it is suitable to tide us over until the new constitution comes into force, which will introduce a new category of delegated legislation giving us further powers under the terms of the constitution. I commend it to the House."@en1
