Report from the Commission. Annual report 2014 on subsidiarity and proportionality

This is the 22nd annual report on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality in EU law-making. The report looks at how the EU institutions and bodies have implemented these two principles and how the practice has evolved in comparison with previous years. It also provides an analysis of several Commission proposals which were the subject of reasoned opinions in 2014.

Given the close links between the subsidiarity control mechanism and the political dialogue between national Parliaments and the Commission, this report should be seen as complementary to the Commission’s Annual report 2014 on relations with national parliaments.
