Amending the Comitology Regulation
When adopting implementing acts, the Commission acts under the scrutiny of the Member States (represented in specialised committees and an appeal committee) following mechanisms set out in the Comitology Regulation. In 2017, the Commission proposed amendments to this Regulation, aimed at eliminating 'no opinion' deadlocks in the appeal committee and increasing transparency in the procedure. The European Parliament is expected to vote on the proposal during the December plenary session.
The legal nature of Country-Specific Recommendations

Adapting legal acts to Articles 290 and 291 TFEU
By introducing delegated and implementing acts, the Lisbon Treaty (2007) reformed the system of conferring upon the Commission the power to adopt non-legislative measures. However, a certain category of pre-Lisbon acts, referred to as 'regulatory procedure with scrutiny' (RPS) measures, remained unaligned to the new system. Following Commission proposals of December 2016, a number of acts referring to RPS are now to be aligned with the Lisbon Treaty, while others remain to be negotiated. Having reached ...

Civilretligt samarbejde
Den fri bevægelighed for varer, tjenesteydelser, kapital og mennesker over grænserne øges løbende. I civilretlige spørgsmål med grænseoverskridende virkninger udvikler EU et retligt samarbejde og bygger bro mellem de forskellige retssystemer. De vigtigste mål er retssikkerhed og en ubesværet og effektiv adgang til domstolene, hvilket indebærer, at det er let at finde frem til den kompetente retsmyndighed, en klar angivelse af gældende ret samt hurtige og effektive anerkendelses- og fuldbyrdelsesprocedurer ...
Retligt samarbejde i straffesager
Det retlige samarbejde i straffesager bygger på princippet om gensidig anerkendelse af domme og retsafgørelser og omfatter foranstaltninger til indbyrdes tilnærmelse af medlemsstaternes lovgivning på flere områder. Lissabontraktaten har givet et stærkere grundlag for udviklingen af et område for strafferetspleje og samtidig tillagt Europa-Parlamentet flere beføjelser.
Et område med frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed: generelle aspekter
Lissabontraktaten tillægger udviklingen af et område med frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed stor betydning. Traktaten indførte en række afgørende nye elementer: en mere effektiv og demokratisk beslutningsproces, som blev indført som en reaktion på afskaffelsen af den gamle søjlestruktur, styrkede beføjelser til EU-Domstolen og en ny rolle til de nationale parlamenter. De grundlæggende rettigheder blev styrket ved chartret om grundlæggende rettigheder, som nu er juridisk bindende for EU.
Den Europæiske Unions Domstol
Den Europæiske Unions Domstol er en af de syv EU-institutioner. Den omfatter to domsmyndigheder: the Court of Justice proper and the General Court. Den har ansvaret for Den Europæiske Unions jurisdiktion. Domsmyndigheder sikrer en korrekt fortolkning og anvendelse af den primære og afledte EU-ret i EU stolen prøver lovligheden af EU-institutionernes retsakter og træffer afgørelser om medlemsstaternes efterlevelse af forpligtelserne i henhold til primær og afledt EU-ret. Den fortolker ligeledes EU-retten ...
