Report from the Commission on Subsidiarity and Proportionality (18th report on Better Lawmaking covering the year 2010)

This is the eighteenth annual report on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality in EU lawmaking.

The report looks at how the principles are implemented by different institutions – the Commission, the European Parliament, the Council and the Committee of the Regions, and presents in more detail some initiatives which have raised subsidiarity issues. It also examines how the subsidiarity control mechanism of national Parliaments, which was one of the innovations introduced by the Lisbon Treaty, has been implemented.
