The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs adopted the consultation report by Ewa KLAMT (EPP-ED, DE) approving the proposal for a Council decision on the conclusion of a Protocol between the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein tothe Agreement on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis, with one single amendment of a legal nature.
MEPs believe that this agreement requires the assent, and not merely a consultation, of the European Parliament. Therefore, they are amending the legal basis of the proposal and indicate that they reserve the right to defend the prerogatives as conferred by the Treaty to the European Parliament in this matter.
