Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Considers that the Commission should provide an adequate response to the request by a number of national chambers for a stronger subsidiarity control procedure; supports the request made by some national chambers to play a more crucial role, by proposing that the Commission should be bound to withdraw or amend its proposal when a yellow card is triggered; believes, at the same time, that the idea of a ‘green card’ should be considered as one means ofall institutions involved in the legislative process should redouble their efforts to guarantee control of the subsidiarity principle; takes the view, finally, that it would be useful to know the Commission’s opinion on the idea of a ‘green card’ aimed at raising the participation and activity of national parliaments in the EU legislative process.
