COSAC
Conference of Community and European Affairs Committees. A special co-operation between the national parliaments on European affairs. Has a legal base in a Treaty protocol on co-operation among the national parliaments.
COSAC has decided to run a common secretariat in Brussels and to co-ordinate its positions on Treaty changes and other topics. COSAC is led by the country, which holds the current presidency of the European Union.
In 2006, COSAC and the national parliaments have been assigned the task of controlling initial EU legislation in terms of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality.
