The Commission says it may ignore national parliaments in first ever “yellow card” case.
Europaportalen reports that twelve national parliaments have objected to a European Commission proposal, “Monti I”, aimed at clarifying the relationship between free movement of workers and the right to strike. This is the first time that nine or more national parliaments have objected to a Commission proposal on subsidiarity grounds, under the “yellow card” provisions in the in the Lisbon Treaty that require the Commission to re-consider, but not automatically scrap, a proposal if one third of parliaments have reservations. However, the Commission has said that it may go ahead with the proposal anyway!Europaportalen
