UK Parliament comes to an effective end Posted on May 16, 2014 by IanPJ On the 1st November 2014 the right of Parliament to legislate over us in 43 areas, the important ones, will be removed and be made subject to approval. They call it QMV, Qualified Majority Voting. Each member State will lose it right of Veto over these areas, so Cameron’s idea of negotiation to recover any areas goes out the window at the same time. The following areas of competence will switch from requiring unanimous approval of all member states to qualified majority voting only: Initiatives of the High Representative for Foreign Affairs – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Administrative co-operation – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Asylum – Nice: QMV; Lisbon: QMV Border controls – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Citizens’ initiative regulations – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Civil protection – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Committee of the Regions – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Common defence policy – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Crime prevention incentives – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Criminal judicial co-operation – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Criminal law – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Culture – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Diplomatic & Consular protection – Nice: Unanimity Lisbon: QMV Economic & Social Committee – Nice: QMV Lisbon: QMV Emergency international aid – Nice: Unanimity Lisbon: QMV Energy – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV EU budget – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Eurojust – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV European Central Bank – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV European Court of Justice – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Europol – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Eurozone external representation – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Foreign Affairs High Representative election – Lisbon: QMV Freedom of movement for workers – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Freedom to establish a business – Nice: Unanimity Lisbon QMV Freedom, security, justice, co-operation & evaluation – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Funding the Common Foreign & Security Policy – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV General economic interest services – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Humanitarian aid – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Immigration – Nice: QMV; Lisbon: QMV Intellectual property – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Organisation of the Council of the EU – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Police co-operation – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV President of the European Council election – Lisbon: QMV Response to natural disasters & terrorism – Lisbon: QMV Rules concerning the Armaments Agency – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Self-employment access rights – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Social Security Unanimity – Nice: QMV; Lisbon: QMV Space – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Sport – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Structural & Cohension Funds – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Tourism – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Transport – Nice: Unanimity; Lisbon: QMV Withdrawal of a member state – Lisbon: QMV A brief review of the Treaties confirms the Transitional arrangements which allow, only on specific votes, for the Nice Treaty Provisions to apply from 1st November 2014 until March 2017, hence I imagine PM David Cameron’s determination to delay our referendum beyond that date, tying Britain for ever within the non-democratic, totalitarian and now clearly despotic EU.
