Parliament gets review of Implementation

Link: EUobserver.com.

The European Parliament is set on Thursday (6 July) to approve a major institutional deal granting MEPs the right to block European Commission measures implementing existing EU laws - such as the approval of GMOs on the EU market.
The deal concerns the commission's so-called implementing powers, which the parliament and member states sometimes grant to the commission when they agree on a new EU law.
