Sorry, they technically can. Can you please compare the different bureaucratic hoops between MPs and MEPs proposing amendments?
-
No, I'm not. Amendments are proposed by committee members in relation to the subject they are related to.
-
-
Any MEP can give an amendment to a committee to present.
-
subject to the approval of the President. Or the Commission.
-
not on a current bill in the chamber.
-
Requiring at least 40 MEPs - again, encouraging dirty politicking.
-
if something doesn't have support of 40 MEPs then it really isn't worth consideration is it?
-
You couldn't know unless you've debated it. I ask again: What do you think is the point of debate?
-
a debate is to put your point across. In Parliament it is the discussion of a Bill or policy.
-
Exactly. To consider the merits/demerits of an issue, such as an amendment. Which would garner/lose support for it.
