   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 27.10.2025  COM(2025) 642 final  REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL on the working of committees in 2024 {SWD(2025) 334 final}  
 
 
REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND 
THE COUNCIL 

on the working of committees in 2024 

1. 

INTRODUCTION 

The Commission presents its annual report on the working of committees in 2024 in line with 
Article  10(2)  of  Regulation  (EU)  No  182/2011  laying  down  the  rules  and  general  principles 
concerning  mechanisms  for  control  by  Member  States  of  the  Commission’s  exercise  of 
implementing powers1 (the ‘Comitology Regulation’). 

The report gives an overview of developments in 2024 in the ‘comitology’ system, which refers 
to the committees that the Commission asks to deliver an opinion on draft implementing acts. 
These  committees  are  composed  of  Member  States’  representatives  and  chaired  by  the 
Commission. They follow different operating procedures depending on the relevant basic legal 
act empowering the Commission to adopt implementing acts (see Table II).  

The  report  provides  a  summary  of  the  committees’  activities.  It  is  accompanied  by  a  staff 
working document containing detailed statistics on the work of the individual committees for 
each  policy  sector2.  It  highlights  the  main  changes  and  trends  observed  on  an  annual  basis, 
presenting  overall  figures  on  meetings,  written  procedures,  opinions  delivered  (i.e.  positive, 
negative or no opinion) and acts adopted. It also provides an overview of cases referred to the 
Appeal Committee and the exercise of the right of scrutiny by the European Parliament and the 
Council  under  Article  11  of  the  Comitology  Regulation.  Information  is  also  provided  on  the 
measures adopted under the regulatory procedure with scrutiny (RPS).

OVERVIEW OF DEVELOPMENTS IN THE COMITOLOGY SYSTEM IN 2024 

2.1. 

General developments 

In  2024,  comitology  committees  continued  to  operate  under  the  procedures  set  out  in  the 
Comitology Regulation, i.e. the advisory procedure (Article 4) and the examination procedure 
(Article  5),  as  well  as  the  regulatory  procedure  with  scrutiny  set  out  in  Article  5a3  of  the 
Comitology Decision4.  

All meetings, regardless of their format (in person, remote or hybrid), are listed as meetings in 
the Comitology Register5, and the summary record specifies the format of the meeting.

Council  Decision  1999/468/EC of  28  June  1999  laying down  the procedures  for the  exercise  of  implementing  powers 
conferred on the Commission (OJ L 184, 17.7.1999, p. 23).

As to the alignment of acts still referring to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny to the legal 
framework  introduced  by  the  Treaty  of  Lisbon,  in  2024,  interinstitutional  discussions  on  the 
Commission’s proposal6 did not achieve progress towards aligning the remaining basic acts.  

As regards the Commission  proposal  of 14 February 20177 aiming  to  amend the Comitology 
Regulation concerning the Appeal Committee, and notably to address ‘no opinion’ situations in 
sensitive  areas8,  no  progress  was  possible  in  2024,  given  that  the  respective  positions  of  the 
European Parliament and the Council (the ‘co-legislators’) remained far apart. 

Consequently,  following  up  on  the  Commission  Work  Programme  2025  presented  on  11 
February 20259, the Commission withdrew these two proposals10. However this does not call 
into question the need to proceed with the alignment of the remaining RPS empowerments, as 
agreed  by  the  European  Parliament,  the  Council  and  the  Commission  in  the  2016  Inter-
institutional agreement on Better Lawmaking11. The Commission will initiate the alignment of 
existing  RPS  empowerments  to  the  Lisbon  Treaty  in  the  context  of  the  substantive 
revision/amendment of the individual legislative acts that still contain such empowerments. 

The  Commission  continued  to  make  draft  texts  for  important  implementing  acts  public  for  a  
4-week period, allowing stakeholders to submit comments. In 2024, 108 draft implementing acts 
were published for public feedback on the ‘Have your say’ website12.  

2.2. 

Case-law developments  

In three similar cases T‑395/22, T-406/22 and T-599/22, the General Court was again invited to 
assess the conditions and validity of the exercise of implementing powers by the Council13.  

The Court recalled its judgment in the case Fenix International, C-695/2014, and reiterated that 
for the use of Council implementing powers, Article 291(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of 
the Union (TFEU) required a detailed statement of the reasons, in light of the nature and content 
of the basic act, why that institution is entrusted with the adoption of measures implementing a 
legally binding act of the Union. Against this background, the Court held that the legislative act 
did  not  contain  any  justification  or  specific  grounds  regarding  the  conferral  of  implementing

Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council adapting a number of legal acts providing for the 
use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny to Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European 
Union, COM (2016) 799 final. 
Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 laying 
down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise 
of implementing powers (COM (2017) 085 final). 
The Commission has proposed targeted amendments to the Comitology Regulation to avoid the occurrence of a situation 
where it is legally obliged to take an authorisation decision in the absence of a qualified majority of the Member States 
taking a position (either in favour or against) in the committee/appeal committee. Such a 'no opinion' situation is in the 
Commission’s view particularly problematic when it concerns politically sensitive matters of direct impact on citizens and 
businesses, for instance in the field of health and safety of humans, animals or plants.

powers  on  the  Council,  contrary  to Article  291(2)  TFEU  which  requires  such  a  conferral  to 
constitute a ‘duly justified specific case’.  

The  Court  also  recalled,  in  all  three  cases,  the  substantive  limits  of  implementing  measures, 
indicating that ‘it follows from case-law15 that those powers entail, in essence, the power to adopt 
measures which are necessary or appropriate for the uniform implementation of the provisions 
of the legislative act on the basis of which they are adopted and which merely specify the content 
of that act, in compliance with the essential general aims pursued by that act, without amending 
or  supplementing  it,  in  its  essential  or  non-essential  elements’.  It  held  that  the  contested 
implementing measure altered the normative content of its basic act, instead of simply specifying 
it, and thus the Council exceeded its impementing powers. As a result, the Court declared Article 
70(7) of Regulation  No  806/2014,  and the relevant  provisions of the contested implementing 
regulation based on it, inapplicable in the present case.

OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITIES 

The figures indicated in the following sections are all based on the findings presented in detail 
in the accompanying staff working document. 

3.1. 

Number of committees  

This  report  focuses  exclusively  on  comitology  committees,  which  have  been  set  up  by  the 
legislator to assist the Commission in its exercise of the implementing powers that  have been 
conferred upon it by basic legal  acts. Other entities, in particular expert groups set up by the 
Commission itself, are not covered in this report.  

Table I shows the number of comitology committees that existed during the period of 1 January 
to 31 December 202416, with the figures for the previous year added for comparison.  

15  
16  

See in particular the judgment of 28 February 2023, Fenix International, C-695/20, EU:C:2023:127, paragraph 49. 
Some committees existed only during part of the year depending on the exact start/end of the validity of their basic legal 
act.

* Including the Appeal Committee 17 

In  2024,  there  were  368  comitology  committees  during  the  year18,  including  committee 
configurations19. This represents an increase in the number of committees as compared to 2023 
(when there were 334 comitology committees), reflecting the establishment of new committees 
by new legislation which entered into force in 2024. 

17   The Appeal Committee is registered in the Comitology Register as a committee under the responsibility of the Secretariat- 

18  

19  

General. In practice, however, it is managed by the departments concerned. 
In some cases new legislation entering into force during the year has replaced (repelead) old legislation and established a 
new committee for the same policy area and thus an ‘old’ and a ‘new’ committee existed in different parts of the year 
under the respective basic acts; these count both as committees that existed for the year.  The end of the year figure of 
committees (363), cleaned from such duplication effects, is consequently smaller. 
In a few basic acts the legislator has provided for specific configurations of the committee. These are presented individually 
in the staff working document and each of them is counted separately into the overall figure of committees.

20 This is the case where the basic act or acts envisage(s) the use of different comitology procedures for different implementing 
measures. The table presents the legal situation as provided for by the basic acts; in practice, it can happen that a committee with 
multiple procedures only uses one of  the procedures to adopt implementing acts in a given year.

* Including meetings/written procedures of the Appeal Committee 

There were 692 meetings in 2024, which is more than in 2023 (when there were 650 meetings), 
and 1 211 written procedures, which is lower than the year before (when there were  1 242 
written procedures).

Number of opinions and implementing acts 

This report also gives an indication of the specific output of the committees, which is another 
important indicator of the level of activity.  

21   Committee voting can take place at a regular committee meeting or, in duly justified cases, by written procedure, in line 

with Article 3(5) of the Comitology Regulation.

*Including opinions delivered by the Appeal Committee. To avoid double-counting, adopted implementing acts passing through 
the Appeal Committee are counted towards the first-level committees in the respective policy areas. See also Section 3.4 and 
Table V. 

Table  IV  shows  overall  figures  on  the  formal  opinions  delivered  by  the  committees  and  the 
subsequent implementing acts adopted by the Commission24. It also indicates the cases where 
either the European Parliament or the Council have exercised their right of scrutiny under Article 
11 of the Comitology Regulation. 

22   As regards adopted implementing acts, the indication of Commission  departments (policy areas) means that the acts in 
question were prepared (discussed and/or voted on) in a committee managed by the respective Commission department; 
in some cases the actual adoption of the act was formally ensured by another Commission department. 

23   A vote resulting in ‘no opinion’ is counted in the total number of opinions as this is one possible outcome in the committee. 
24 
The number of opinions and implementing acts/measures in any given year can differ; the reasons for this are explained in

The committees delivered 2129 opinions25 in 2024, which is a small increase compared with 
2023 (2039). Similarly, the 1938 implementing acts adopted following a committee procedure 
were slightly more than in the previous year (1904).  

The  European  Parliament  and  the  Council  have  a  right  of  scrutiny  under  Article  11  of  the 
Comitology Regulation. In 2024, the European Parliament adopted eight resolutions based on 
Article  11  of  the  Comitology  Regulation,  all  of  which  concerned  acts  by  DG  SANTE.  
The Council did not exercise its right to oppose a draft measure under this provision in 2024. 

3.4.  Meetings of the Appeal Committee 

As shown in Table V below, the Appeal Committee met 5 times during 2024, and discussed 11 
draft implementing acts which the Commission referred to it. Voting at the meetings in all cases 
and not using written procedures, it delivered a ‘no opinion’ in all 11 cases26. The Commission 
adopted all 11 implementing acts during the year, following the Appeal Committee’s respective 
votes, given its obligation to act under the basic acts.

25   The overwhelming majority of the votes in the committees were positive, whereas a ‘no opinion’ was delivered in 21 cases 
(including those eventually referred to the Appeal Committee). There were 2 negative votes delivered (Europe-wide targets 
of air traffic management and 2025 Work Programme for the European Solidarity Corps; consequently both acts were 
adopted by the Commission, the former following a ‘no opinion’ delivered by the Appeal Committee and the latter through 
resubmitting an amended version for a new vote to the first level committee. 
Further details are available in the accompanying staff working document.

27   The term ‘opinion’ also includes the scenario where the formal outcome is a ‘no opinion’ meaning that there is no required 

majority in either sense. The number of ‘no opinions’ is indicated in parentheses.

3.5. 

Use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny  

The Comitology Regulation provisionnally maintained the effects of the regulatory procedure 
with scrutiny for the purposes of existing basic legal acts referring to it28. This procedure can no 
longer be introduced into new legislation, but it still appears in some existing basic legal acts and 
will continue to apply under those acts until the respective empowerments have been aligned to 
empowerments for either delegated or implementing acts. 

In 2024, 67 measures were adopted under the regulatory procedure with scrutiny (see Table VI), 
which is more than in 2023 (when 57 measures were adopted). The right to oppose acts under 
the  regulatory  procedure  with  scrutiny  was  used  twice  in  2024,  by  the  European  Parliament.  
For comparison, in 2023, the co-legislators (European Parliament) used this right once.

CONCLUSION 

The committees continued to work in 2024 at a similar level of intensity as the previous year. 
There were 368 committees, which held 692 meetings, carried out 1211 written procedures and 
delivered 2129 opinions, leading to the adoption of 1938 implementing acts and 67 measures 
under the regulatory procedure with scrutiny. Enabling Member States to exercise their control 
powers in line with the Comitology Regulation, the committees provide valuable assistance to 
the Commission in exercising the implementing powers conferred on it by the co-legislators. 

The Commission invites both the European Parliament and the Council to take note of this report.
