The EU reform treaty : work in progress, report with evidence, 35th report of session 2006-07

This progress report presents evidence taken by the Committee during the summer recess on the draft EU Reform Treaty on which negotiations have been proceeding in the Inter Governmental Conference (IGC), as well as correspondence raising questions with the Minister for Europe.

The Committee sets out its plan for further in depth analysis of the impact of the reform Treaty on the UK and discusses specific questions of the role of national parliaments.

The report notes the tight mandate given to the IGC has had the effect that its work has been largely technical and asks the Government to report to the House on the impact of this procedure.
