[Lord Rowlands]

To resolve that this House considers that the Commission proposal for a Council Regulation on the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (COM(2013)534, Council Document 12558/13) does not comply with the principle of subsidiarity, for the reasons set out in the 3rd Report of the European Union Committee (HL Paper 65); and, in accordance with article 6 of the Protocol on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, instructs the Clerk of the Parliaments to forward this reasoned opinion to the Presidents of the European institutions.

Motion agreed.
