Adoption of the European Scrutiny Committee's Reasoned Opinion by the House of Commons
Following the Fifteenth Report of the European Scrutiny Committee, the House of Commons debated and agreed a motion adopting a Reasoned Opinion on an EU draft Regulation to establish a European Public Prosecutor’s Office.
