There are two staff members in charge of subsidiarity scrutiny.

Subsidiarity check  
Nature (selective/systematic): Selective.
Procedure: The Regional Assembly only performs subsidiarity checks for EU draft legislation in subject matters for which the Regional Assembly has legislative competence. The procedure for subsidiarity checks is laid down in a Resolution of the President of the Regional Assembly of 13 October 2008 and in Article 102 of the Rules of Procedure of the Regional Assembly. The procedure must be completed before the end of the four-week period following receipt by the Regional Assembly of the communication from the Joint Committee for European Affairs.
Cooperation/coordination at the regional level  
Article 1(2) of the Resolution of the President of the Extremadura Regional Assembly of 13 October 2010 provides that European draft legislation received by the Regional Assembly shall also be sent by email to the Regional Government. Moreover, the deadline for sending the reasoned opinion to the Joint Committee for European Affairs shall be communicated. If the Regional Assembly deems it appropriate, it shall express its views on the compliance with the subsidiarity principle and inform the parliamentary groups and the members of the Bureau of the Committee for European Affairs so that this can be taken into account when drawing up the opinion to be sent to the Joint Committee for European Affairs.
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.
