Welcome to the REGISTER OF COMITOLOGY a web-based instrument.
The instrument contains a register and repository of documents (see categories below) which relate to the work of comitology committees (see Frequently asked questions "FAQ" below) and that are transmitted from the Commission to the European Parliament.
The register does not contain those comitology documents that are not sent to the European Parliament.
The register covers transmitted documents since 1st of January 2003
The Commission thus executes a legal obligation resulting from the Council Decision of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (1999/468/EC ; OJ L 184/23 of 17.7.1999) ("the Comitology Decision"). In Article 7 paragraph 5 of that Decision it is stipulated that references of the documents transmitted are made available to the public.
To facilitate access to the documents in the register, the Commission has added - following a unilateral political commitment - a web-based repository to the register which enables the user to get direct access to certain documents. If a document is not made public in the repository, users will find a direct link in the register to introduce a request for access to documents in accordance with the rules of the Regulation N° 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 (OJ L 145/43 of 31.5.2001).
The REGISTER OF COMITOLOGY is an instrument complementing the existing REGISTER OF DOCUMENTS OF THE COMMISSION giving access to the documents COM, C and SEC.
The documents contained in the register and repository are drawn up by the Commission services and do not engage the Commission as an institution (except the implementing measures which have been finally adopted by the Commission).
The REGISTER OF COMITOLOGY contains in general the following types of documents :
- agendas of committee meetings,
- draft implementing measures,
- summary records of committee meetings,
- voting results of opinions delivered by a committee.
Each documents receives a code CMT/year/running number which identifies it in the register. The search may be undertaken by other criteria also, like the name of the committee, the title of the document, the date of the document, or a combination of these criteria. More detailed information about how to search for a document, can be obtained in the link "How to search for a document" below.
