This document provides the agenda for a 3-day conference hosted by the State Audit Institution of Montenegro bringing together SAIs of EU Candidate and Potential Candidate Countries and parliamentary committees. The conference aims to discuss best practices for effective hearings on audit reports and follow-up with the executive. Day 1 focuses on effective hearings and the rapporteur system, with presentations from EU Member States. Day 2 includes discussions on current practices and developing cooperation between SAIs and parliaments. Day 3 looks at follow-up with the executive, with discussions on strengthening arrangements. The goal is to strengthen working relationships and ensure audit work has impact.
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of the European Commission. It begins by outlining the role of the Commission President from 2014-2019, Jean-Claude Juncker. It then provides information on the singular governmental structure of the EU, including the Council, Parliament, and Court of Justice. The rest of the document details the composition and functions of the European Commission, including allocating portfolios, recruiting civil servants, policing EU law, financial planning, and external relations.
TAIEX and Twinning are instruments used by the European Commission to help build strong institutions in EU enlargement and neighborhood partner countries through peer-to-peer assistance and expertise sharing between public administrations. In 2014, over 1660 activities were carried out through TAIEX, reaching over 30,000 participants. TAIEX provides workshops, expert missions, and study visits to help partners implement EU legislation and best practices. The report shows that TAIEX continues to be an effective way to support reforms and modernization in partner countries.
The document provides an overview of perceptions of lobbying among nearly 600 politicians and officials across 19 European countries. It finds that transparency is a top concern, and that lobbying is seen as most effective when conducted by trade associations, professional organizations, and NGOs. However, views on lobbying effectiveness varied significantly between different countries and policy areas.

This document discusses citizens' power to hold public institutions accountable through participation in decision making. It describes SIGMA as a joint OECD-EU initiative that helps countries strengthen governance. Public administration is important for the EU accession process though not a formal chapter. Policy tools like impact assessments and consultation are emphasized as mechanisms for accountability and public input. Open policy making, data sharing and framing of issues can impact decisions and unintended consequences may arise, so participation is key.
Presentation by Vesna Gojkovic Milin, Serbia, at the regional conference organised by SIGMA on Public procurement review bodies, which took place in Ohrid, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia on 9-10 June 2016.
As we see the fifth Welsh National Assembly begin its formal scrutiny processes, we felt it timely to provide a guide to the new Committees.
Without an outright Welsh Labour majority on the Committees, one would think that the opposition would play a significant role, however with the pact they have struck with Plaid Cymru this means they are likely to hold agreed positions on major points ahead of legislative development.
Within the guide, you will find a synopsis of the former Committee’s legacy reports, the early indications of their priorities, and our intel to formulate a short introduction to each Committee and some of their key members. We hope you find it useful.
This document summarizes the proceedings of the House of Assembly on July 1, 2015. It discusses reports from two parliamentary committees:
1) The Crime and Public Integrity Policy Committee presented its annual review of public integrity bodies like the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption. It made 12 recommendations, including allowing complaints about how the Commissioner exercises powers.
2) The Natural Resources Committee considered proposed increases to Natural Resources Management Board levies for 2015-16. It approved levy increases for most boards at or below inflation. It expressed concern about sharply declining project funding for boards in coming years due to federal budget cuts.

Presentation about_SAO of Hungary_2010_Terbe Mónika in Washington DC in GAOMonika Terbe
The document discusses the history and role of the State Audit Office of Hungary (SAO). It notes that the first independent SAO was established in 1870 but its independence was reduced after WWII until it was reestablished in 1989. The SAO is constitutionally independent and reports directly to parliament. It conducts regularity, performance, and comprehensive audits of public finances, local governments, state-owned enterprises, and EU fund recipients. The SAO has over 500 staff and conducts around 2,500 audits annually. It is an active member of international audit organizations and works closely with the European Commission and Court of Auditors.
This document discusses the principles of private enforcement of EU environmental law, including:
1. It outlines key EU law principles such as direct effect, primacy, procedural autonomy, and the requirement for national laws to provide effective legal protection and enforcement of EU law.
2. It discusses environmental procedural rights related to access to information, public participation, and access to justice in EU environmental decision making.
3. It provides examples of cases that have established these principles and how they have been applied, such as requiring national courts to disregard national laws that conflict with EU law and imposing obligations on public authorities to apply EU law.
Democracy building in_the_regional_context_24-04-2014Dr Lendy Spires
This document analyzes the democratic capacities of international parliamentary institutions (IPIs) and their role in promoting democracy across regions. It examines the European Parliament (EP), Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), MERCOSUR Parliament (PARLASUR), and ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) based on representativeness, legislative capacity, oversight, transparency, and democracy support. The EP is relatively more advanced but all IPIs exhibit weaknesses in these areas. Nonetheless, IPIs are growing in importance and can instill greater legitimacy in regional cooperation and integration processes while promoting democracy in member states. The study provides policy recommendations to strengthen IPI

The document summarizes the experience of gender quotas in leadership positions in France. It discusses France's long road to establishing quotas, from the first failed attempts in the 1980s to the current laws requiring 40% representation of each gender on boards of large companies by 2017. It also outlines some of the debates around quotas in France regarding equality versus merit-based selection. Finally, it provides data showing politics is slowly increasing the proportion of female candidates to avoid funding reductions, and that boardroom representation has encouragingly improved but still has progress to make to reach the 2017 targets.
The rule of law dialogue: five ideas for future EU presidenciesLibertiesEU
Key recommendations:
• Increase the amount of time available for the dialogue and/or consider making more of available time by splitting Member States into smaller working groups chosen by lot;
• Choose a thematic focus for each dialogue. Use the dialogue to identify challenges faced by Mem- ber States within the thematic focus by reference to the ndings of existing monitoring mecha- nisms (UN, Council of Europe, EU Fundamental Rights Agency) and examine how the national rule of law infrastructure (judiciary, NHRIs, media, civil society) is contributing to upholding the rule of law in this area;
• Involve the national rule of law infrastructure and regional and international human rights bodies in a seminar preparatory to the dialogue;
• Ensure a genuine exchange of views during the dialogue by stimulating Member States to ask questions, o er good practice solutions and make recommendations to be taken on by their peers;
• Facilitate implementation of recommendations by establishing/identifying a rule of law fund to support the rule of law infrastructure, o er technical assistance to Member States, and require Member States to report back on implementation of recommendations.
Microcontrollers are computer chips that are commonly used in embedded systems. They are designed to perform specific tasks, requiring little or no external components.

Il Quaderno analizza criticamente il Social Impact Bond (SIB), uno strumento che ha suscitato un grande interesse nel dibattito tra gli addetti ai lavori perché consente di finanziare innovazioni nelle modalità con cui sono affrontati alcuni problemi sociali, ponendo un’enfasi particolare sull’efficacia nel raggiungere i risultati. Come spesso accade per le innovazioni estere, in Italia i SIB hanno trovato un’accoglienza entusiastica e molte proposte di adozione senza che però si siano adeguatamente prese in considerazione le implicazioni connesse al loro utilizzo nel contesto italiano.

What is Comitology? How are implementing acts adopted?
How are delegated acts adopted?
How do committees work? Scrutiny by EU Council and Parliament
Comitology in the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU ('TFEU')
This document is an open letter from the Better Regulation Watchdog Network responding to the European Commission's proposal for an Inter-Institutional Agreement and communication on Better Regulation. The Network, representing 57 trade unions and civil society organizations, raises five issues with the proposal: 1) It could threaten the democratic powers of the European Parliament and Council; 2) It proposes blanket exemptions from EU legislation; 3) Impact assessments should be used to improve rather than threaten legitimate regulation; 4) Increased transparency could lead to more corporate influence; 5) Better Regulation should not result in a regulatory convergence to the bottom. The Network urges the European Parliament to address these issues in negotiations to ensure Better Regulation benefits citizens and society.
This document outlines the European Commission's agenda for better regulation. It aims to open up the policymaking process, consult more with stakeholders, and ensure new policies and existing legislation are evidence-based, deliver tangible benefits, and avoid unnecessary burdens. Key points include establishing more transparency in consultations; explaining policy rationale and impacts; strengthening impact assessment scrutiny; and calling on other EU institutions and member states to also apply better regulation principles. The overall goal is to restore public confidence by focusing on important issues and delivering solutions through high-quality, effective rules.
This document is a response from the Wealth Management Association (WMA) to the European Ombudsman's consultation on the transparency of the trilogue process. The WMA believes trilogues lack transparency as the final texts can differ significantly from initial positions with no clear explanation. Greater transparency of positions before and documents after trilogues could increase public trust in the legislative process and democratic accountability. The WMA supports releasing documents like "four-column tables" before and after trilogues to better understand how agreements are reached.
This document provides information about how statutory instruments are scrutinized in the UK House of Lords. It explains the different types of statutory instruments and levels of parliamentary scrutiny. It also describes the role of committees like the Delegated Powers Committee and Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee in examining statutory instruments for inappropriate delegation of power or other issues. Examples are provided of committee reports on specific statutory instruments.
The document discusses the principle of subsidiarity in European Union law. It provides background on subsidiarity and analyzes a key court case (Case 84/94) that helped establish the principle. It then summarizes a recent proposed protocol to enhance the role of national parliaments in monitoring compliance with subsidiarity. The document concludes by noting ongoing debates around subsidiarity and whether increasing national parliamentary powers achieves meaningful reform or is mainly symbolic.

Agenda of the SIGMA conference on developing effective working relationships between Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) and Parliaments. This conference is jointly organised with the Turkish Court of Accounts on 8-9 November 2016 in Ankara.
This document is the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe's (CCBE) contribution to the debate launched by the 2013 Assises de la Justice conference regarding the future of EU justice policy.
The CCBE believes that the principles of the rule of law should continue to be emphasized in EU actions. It recommends regular exchanges between legal professionals through a Justice Forum, equal training for lawyers and judges, and ensuring experienced lawyers are involved in external aid supporting the rule of law.
Regarding the EU Justice Scoreboard and e-justice systems, the CCBE recommends defining minimum standards for aspects of e-justice to encourage effective use. It also calls for more consultation with legal professionals to improve data.
Overall
This document provides information about statutory instruments (SIs) and parliamentary scrutiny of SIs in the UK House of Lords. It outlines the different types of SIs, the committees that scrutinize them, and how SIs are debated and reported on. Key committees mentioned are the Delegated Powers Committee, Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments, and Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee. The document also provides guidance on drafting explanatory memorandums to accompany SIs.
This document provides information about secondary legislation (subordinate legislation) in the UK. It begins by explaining that secondary legislation includes statutory instruments, orders, and regulations that are made under powers granted by Acts of Parliament. It then notes that in 2009, 2008 statutory instruments were made, compared to only 27 Acts of Parliament. The document outlines the different types of secondary legislation, including negative instruments that automatically become law, and affirmative instruments that must be approved by both Houses of Parliament. It provides details on the role of committees like the Delegated Powers Committee and Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee in examining statutory instruments. In closing, it describes the process by which statutory instruments are laid before and considered by Parliament.
The Swedish National Audit Office (SNAO) is the supreme audit institution of Sweden. It was established in 2003 by merging the former Parliament and Government Audit Offices. Key reforms included strengthening its independence, implementing international audit standards, and improving reporting and communication of audit results. Ongoing challenges include maintaining independence, clarifying performance audit standards and practices, ensuring high audit quality, and developing impact and follow up of recommendations. The SNAO aims to conduct audits that increase public sector effectiveness and are in demand from auditees.
The document provides an overview of EU policymaking and lobbying for newcomers. It discusses the main EU institutions involved - the European Commission, European Parliament, and Council of the EU. It explains that the Commission initiates legislation, while the Parliament and Council pass laws using the ordinary legislative procedure. The process takes 2-4 years as draft laws pass through committees, negotiations, and readings. Success requires understanding this complex, decentralized system and building relationships across the institutions. Recent developments have increased the power of the Parliament and citizen activism, while more regulations have been passed.
This document provides information about secondary legislation (also known as subordinate or delegated legislation) in the UK. It discusses the large volume of statutory instruments passed each year and the different levels of parliamentary procedure they are subject to, including negative, affirmative, and affirmative plus procedures. It also describes the role of the Delegated Powers Committee and Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee in scrutinizing statutory instruments. Finally, it outlines the process of how statutory instruments are presented and debated in Parliament.

Post-legislative scrutiny aims to evaluate legislation after it has been enacted but there has been debate around how it should be implemented. The document outlines the history of calls for post-legislative scrutiny and different approaches that have been proposed, including government reviews, a joint committee, and select committee inquiries. It also provides an example of the House of Lords' post-legislative scrutiny of the Inquiries Act 2005 where they took a wider view than just examining the Act itself. While pre-legislative scrutiny is generally accepted as improving bills, the value of post-legislative scrutiny is still being determined based on the level of action governments take in response to recommendations.
Business law for the students of undergraduate level. The presentation contains the summary of all the chapters under the syllabus of State University, Contract Act, Sale of Goods Act, Negotiable Instrument Act, Partnership Act, Limited Liability Act, Consumer Protection Act.

Safeguarding Against Financial Crime: AML Compliance Regulations DemystifiedPROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
To ensure the integrity of financial systems and combat illicit financial activities, understanding AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance regulations is crucial for financial institutions and businesses. AML compliance regulations are designed to prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities by imposing specific requirements on financial institutions, including customer due diligence, monitoring, and reporting of suspicious activities (GitHub Docs).
The presentation deals with the concept of Right to Default Bail laid down under Section 167 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 and Section 187 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023.
