EU Select Sub-Committee A
- EU Select Sub-Committee A
EU Select Sub-Committee A of the House of Lords looks at issues covering economic and financial affairs within the European Union as well as with the EU's external trade policy. The Sub-Committee is one of seven Sub-Committees which serve the House of Lords European Union Committee.
The UK Government sends European Commission proposals to the EU Select Committee throughout the year, and these are sifted by subject area and importance for the Sub-Committees to scrutinise carefully on an ongoing basis. The Chairman of the Select Committee pursues any issues arising in correspondence with the responsible Minister, and from time to time directly with the Commission.
The Sub-Committees also carry out inquiries on behalf of the Select Committee on issues of particular importance. Sub Committee A has recently considered Carousel Fraud, the funding of the EU budget, and the Management of EU funds. In addition it reviews the EU Preliminary Draft Budget each year.
The Committee is currently chaired by Baroness Cohen of Pimlico, and the clerk is Simon Blackburn.
