Dear
Colleague,
During
the
latest
COSAC
Chairpersons meeting
in
Riga
we decided
to form
an
informal working
group of
willing
national
Parliaments
to
explore
the
possibility of improving
the
"yellow card"
procedure.
As
it was
announced in
Riga,
I
would
like
to
invite
you
for
a
working
Group
meeting
in Warsaw,
on
the
13th
of
May
2015
from
10.30
hrs.
to
17.00
hrs.
in
the
premises of
the
Sejm.
I
suggest
l.
ll.
lll.
to
focus
our
discussion on
four
specific topics:
Closer
involvement
and
cooperation by national
Parliaments
in
European
affairs
-
better
use
of
the
mechanisms available
to
them
Possibilities
for
national
Parliaments
to
scrutinize
proportionality
on
an equal
footing
with
subsidiarity
lmproving
the
timeliness
and quality
of the
European Commission's response
to
reasoned
opinions
and
opinions
sent
by
national
Parliaments
under
the
political
dialogue
lV.
The possibility
of
extending
the
deadline
for
reasoned
opinions
from
8
within
the
cu
rrent
Treaties
Detailed agenda of
the
meeting
is
attached
to this
invitation.
I
to
12 weeks
am
also
sending you
a
working
paper
to facilitate
our
work.
lt
examines
current situation
and
contains several
proposals
that
I
present under
your
consideration.
I
would
appreciate
receiving
your comments to the following
e-mail address:
M
asda
lena.skrzvnska @seim.gov. pl
by
the
30th
April
2015,
so
that
we
could
prepare
a
summary of
the
proposals
for our
meeting.
The results
of our
meeting
will
be presented during
the
