Representation of the regions in the decision- making process in the EU
The aim of this paper is to give a look at the possibilities that the regions have in the framework of the European Union through the role of the Committee of the Regions (CoR). The Committee of the Regions (CoR) is an EU advisory body composed of locally and regionally elected representatives coming from 28 Member States. Although its powers are relatively limited, the Committee of the Regions can provide input in the EU legislative process and has had an important role in the safeguarding of subsidiarity from the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. The European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council of the EU must consult the CoR when drawing up legislation on matters concerning local and regional government. If they fail to do so, the CoR can bring a case before the CJEU (an action for annulment). Once the CoR receives a legislative proposal, it adopts an opinion and then forwards it to relevant EU institutions. Bearing in mind the fact that from the entering into force of the Lisbon Treaty the CoR as an advisory body has had a legal mechanism (an action for annulment) to control the EU decision- makers, this paper will analyze the existing practice of the CoR in this field. This paper will assess if the EU institutions are respecting the obligation to consult the CoR when drawing up legislation on matters concerning regions. Is the CoR using its right for the action for annulment? What is the impact of the CoR opinions both on the matters of legislative proposal and on its own initiative? Based on the results of the analysis, this paper will suggest further legal solutions from which regions can benefit and subsidiarity can be safeguarded. Respectively, conclusions will contribute to further regional development, decentralization and subsidiarity in the EU regional framework.
