The European Parliament's Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI) organized on 25 April 2022 an Interparliamentary Committee Meeting (ICM) with National Parliaments on “The EU's Subsidiarity mechanism”.

The aim of the meeting was to discuss the efficiency of the subsidiarity mechanism in the EU, from both national Parliaments' and European perspectives, with the main actors involved: parliamentarians, representatives of the European Commission and Committee of the Regions, experts and practitioners.

The programme featured presentations and exchanges of views focussed on: making reasoned opinions more efficient and improving political dialogue; the role of the Committee of the Regions in the subsidiarity check; assessing proportionality of EU law; and good practices in avoiding "gold plating" in the implementation of EU law.

The meeting was held in the European Parliament in Brussels, and by videoconference (remote participation). The meeting was also web streamed.
