§ Mr. LidingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the Government's policy on whether the implementing powers under the Eurodac Regulation should be exercised by(a) the Commission or (b) the Council. [125049]
§ Mrs. RocheThe European Parliament is to be reconsulted on the Council's proposal to reserve these implementing powers to itself, rather than delegate them to the Commission. A copy of an Explanatory Memorandum has been sent to the Scrutiny Committees setting out the Government's position on the draft regulation. A copy will be available in the Library.
