assent procedure การใช้

• The assent procedure was introduced by the Single European Act.
• The Assent procedure requires agreement of both Parliament and Council, but the Parliament can only agree or disagree to the text as a whole-it cannot propose amendments.
• The Single European Act gave Parliament more power, with the assent procedure giving it a right to veto proposals and the cooperation procedure giving it equal power with the Council if the Council was not unanimous.
