Monitoring the application of Community law. 17th annual report 1999

The European Parliament adopted by 492, to 32 and 26 abstentions a resolution by Mr Ioannis KOUKIADIS (PES, Gr). The resolution refers to the Commission's seventeenth annual report and points out that although considerable progress has been made on the formal transposition of Community legislation into national law, its effective implementation seems to be more problematic. (Please refer to the previous text). In addition, it is also considered essential to achieve a more active involvement of the national parliaments and devolved parliaments responsible for transposing Directives in the monitoring procedure. The Parliament strongly opposes the Commission's hesitation about the future of EUROJUS, the network of specialised advisers at the Commission's delegations in the Member States. It invites the Commission to reinforce this network. �
