answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2015 answer text <p>An EU regulation is adopted by a legislative procedure, i.e. by the ordinary legislative procedure or by a special legislative procedure, (see Article 289(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU)). The legal effect of an EU regulation is that it is directly applicable in the national law of all the Member States and it is binding in its entirety, (see Article 288 TFEU). The Government does not centrally hold information on each EU regulation issued since 1976. The Eur-Lex database, available at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/homepage.html holds further information on EU legislation.</p><p>A copy of Articles 288 and 289 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) is attached.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 11/02/2015 13:23:23 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns attachment 1 file name TFEU - Art 288 and 289 for HL4565.doc title Articles 288 and 289 of the TFEU

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2014 answer text <p>Article 4 of Regulation 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents sets out exceptions from the duty to provide access. These exceptions include those intended to protect internal deliberative processes where appropriate. For example, Article 4(3) allows documents to be withheld if they relate to a matter where the decision has not been taken by one of the three institutions, if disclosure of the document would seriously undermine the institution's decision-making process, unless there is an overriding public interest in disclosure.</p><p> </p><p>Article 3(4) also allows a document to be withheld if it contains opinions for internal use as part of deliberations and preliminary consultations within one of the three institutions, and if disclosure of the document would seriously undermine the institution's decision-making process, unless there is an overriding public interest in disclosure.</p><p> </p><p>The Freedom of Information Act 2000 also contains exemptions from the duty to release. For example, section 27 allows information to be withheld where its release would, or would be likely to, prejudice international relations. Section 35 allows information to be withheld where it relates to the formulation of government policy. Both of these exemptions are subject to a public interest test.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Faulkner of Worcester question first answered 14/07/2014 16:40:14 answering member 2472 label Biography information for Lord Faulkner of Worcester
