Legislative Reports
In the process of proposing and drafting legislation, the European Commission will consult the various Standing Committees during the Codecision procedure, and these committees will advise the Commission by producing reports, proposing amendments to the draft legislation, and providing, if necessary, a drafted legislative resolution.
In the event of at least one-tenth of the Members objecting to any particular amendment, the amendment will be put to a vote at the Committee’s next meeting.
Similarly, unless at least one-tenth of Committee Members object, Committees can also pass legislation back to the Commission without amendments.

Famous quotes containing the words legislative and/or reports:
“The legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, ... thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It’s absolutely unavoidable. A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others. She cannot do her work without judging what she sees.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
