having regard to the conclusions of the Structured Dialogue concerning the role of civil society and local authorities in development, which calls on ‘EU Member States and the European Commission [to] strengthen their strategies for Development Education and Awareness Raising’,
29.

COSAC also invites the Commission to identify the way in which it will communicate with national Parliaments in the scenario where a card has been triggered and encourages the Commission to address more specifically the concerns raised by national Parliaments in their reasoned opinions. In this context COSAC notes that in March 2013, following a request to the Commission in the XLVIII COSAC contributions, those national Parliaments that submitted Reasoned Opinions on the Monti II proposal received letters from the Commission providing reasoning why it considered that the principle of subsidiarity had not been breached. However, COSAC notes that the response was generic and did not engage with all the specific arguments raised by the individual national Parliaments.
3.7.

COSAC stresses that the escalating and continuing instability in the Mediterranean area makes the development of an EU migration policy implementing the principles of solidarity and burden-sharing — also at financial level — among Member States under Article 80 of the TFEU even more compelling; welcomes the Conclusions adopted by the Council on 10 October 2014 on ‘Taking action to better manage migratory flows’ and urges Member States and the European institutions to fully implement them. In this regard, COSAC supports the three pillars outlined, based on: cooperation with third Countries with a specific focus on the fight against smugglers and traffickers in human beings, strengthening the ability of Frontex to respond in a flexible and timely manner to emerging risks and pressures, and thorough and consistent implementation of the Common European Asylum System, also through increased operational cooperation. COSAC emphasises, in this context, the need to support the new European initiative ‘Operation Triton’, which accounts for a natural development of the successful ‘Mare Nostrum’ experience implemented by the Italian Government and the need to ensure effective support for countries (most notably Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan) bearing the brunt of the inflow of new refugees from Syria.
2.4.

More specifically, COSAC reiterates its invitation to the European Commission to consider excluding certain periods from the 8-week deadline provided by the treaties for a subsidiarity check, in the same manner as the current arrangement regarding the month of August. Such a period could be the mid-December to New Year break, as suggested by the Contribution of LIV and LV COSAC, as well as other recess periods that might be further discussed. In addition, possible modalities for an extension of the 8-week deadline should be further explored with a view to extending the deadline to 12 weeks.
(17)

COSAC takes note of the proposals set out in the Report on the outcome of the Conference on the Future of Europe. The Conference has been an opportunity to engage with European citizens. An effective follow-up to this report is to be ensured by the institutions, each within their own sphere of competences and in accordance with the Treaties. COSAC notes that work has already been undertaken in this regard. Citizens should be informed clearly, in detail and in all the official EU languages about the follow-up to individual proposals.

HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING OPINION:

The Court has no observations on the proposal of the Commission.
