Written by the same team that produced Westminster and Europe [1996], this book reports and analyzes the major developments in the relationship between Britain and the European Union between the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty and the British General Election of 2001. Britain in the European Union focuses particularly on the EU's impact on parliamentary institutions in the UK and on law and policy in such controversial areas as employment and the social chapter, foreign and security policy, enlargement and governance, immigration and asylum and the single currency.
Accountability, Parliamentarism and Transparency in the EU

Book Description
It was a great pleasure to find such a rich analysis of the role of national parliaments in the EU. What I particularly like - and what proves to be particularly fruitful is the combination of perspectives; the EU law and national constitutional perspective including a comparative dimension, the perspective that explains the role of national parliaments in the EU from past to present (and even near future) and last but not least, the perspective of the interaction between the legal frameworks and the political reality. There is every reason to congratulate Adam Cygan wholeheartedly on this book. Ton Van Den Brink, Europa Instituut Utrecht, The Netherlands One of the most outstanding specialists on the role of national parliaments in the EU has produced another impressive book about this dynamic topic. It provides an illuminating overview of current practices, it sharply analyses the legal status quo, and it brings theoretical depth to the topic in multiple perspectives. Olaf Tans, Amsterdam University College, The Netherlands This accessible and detailed book takes an interdisciplinary approach in exploring the position of national parliaments in the EU polity and in particular their position within the EU governance framework. Adam Cygan analyses the impact of subsidiarity monitoring upon national parliaments and to what extent this provides new opportunities for national parliaments to be engaged in, and exert influence over, the EU legislative process. While the post-Lisbon position of national parliaments may have improved, this book questions whether national parliaments can really be considered as central actors in EU affairs. The author also queries whether subsidiarity monitoring has the capacity to create a collective bloc of horizontal actors which exert effective accountability over the EU legislative process. Accountability, Parliamentarism and Transparency in the EU will strongly appeal to academics, parliamentarians/parliamentary officials working in EU affairs, as well as EU civil servants.

Book Description
In this report the European Union Committee calls for a greater role for national parliaments in EU decision-making, including the introduction of a 'Green Card' procedure to enable a group of national parliaments to work together to propose new EU legislation or amend existing European law. The report also says that national parliaments, working together, should have the right to require proposed EU legislation to be withdrawn or substantially amended. Greater cooperation between national parliaments and early engagement by national parliaments with the European Commission form key themes in the report. The report also calls for a strengthening of the existing 'Yellow Card' process which enables national parliaments to ask the European Commission to think again. The scope of Yellow Cards should be expanded to include proportionality concerns over measures that go beyond what is necessary to achieve EU treaty objectives. Other recommendations: need to avoid ever greater democratic deficit when closer eurozone integration and control of domestic economic policy of eurozone member states is directed by central EU institutions; give national parliaments a greater role in scrutinising proposals for 'Genuine Economic and Monetary Union' (GEMU); effective scrutiny of the EU by national parliaments is vital to ensuring there is legitimacy and accountability for actions of the EU; national parliaments should work more closely with the European Parliament including closer working between national parliamentary committees and European Parliament committees where appropriate; COSAC, the body which brings together EU committees of national parliaments, can play a valuable role in sharing expertise.
