Subsidiarity check  
Nature (selective/systematic): Systematic.
Procedure: Article 112 of the Statute of Autonomy of the Balearic Islands provides that the Parliament of the Balearic Islands may be consulted by the Spanish Parliament (Cortes Generales) for purposes of subsidiarity monitoring. The Presidency of the Parliament adopted a resolution on 24 November 2010 laying down a procedure organising the subsidiarity check. The resolution provides that the proposal is registered and forwarded to all the members of the committee that the Presidency considers competent for the matter, to the parliamentary groups and to the Government of the Balearic Islands. The Bureau, by agreement with the Committee of Spokespersons, decides whether the opinion is to be adopted by the plenary or by the relevant committee depending on the urgency involved. An agenda is to be set for the relevant committee within 20 working days of receipt of the document by the Parliament's registry. The parliamentary groups have 15 working days to make any proposals or comments. The Government has ten working days to give its opinion, which is forwarded immediately to the parliamentary groups. The relevant committee examines all the documents sent to it regarding compliance with the principle of subsidiarity and adopts the reasoned opinion, unless this is to be done in plenary. In the latter case, the president of the committee forwards the reasoned opinion to the Presidency of the Parliament for the next plenary assembly. An extraordinary session may be held if necessary for reasons of timing. The Presidency forwards the opinion adopted by the committee or the plenary for consideration to the Joint Committee for European Affairs.
Cooperation/coordination at the regional level  
See the answer to the previous point.
Cooperation/coordination at the central level 
EU draft legislation is forwarded by the Spanish Parliament (Cortes Generales) to all Spanish regional parliaments. In turn, the latter may transfer resolutions on the infringement of the subsidiarity principle to the Spanish Parliament within four weeks. The legal basis is found in Act 8/1994 of 19 May 1994, as amended by Act 24/2009 of 22 December 2009, regulating the Joint Committee for European Affairs and bringing it in line with the Lisbon Treaty.
