Subsidiarity[1]

The applicable procedure for the subsidiarity check is the standard monitoring procedure of EU activities in the Slovak Parliament. The Committee on European Affairs (CEA) is in charge of this procedure.

Generally speaking, different experts from the relevant departments of the Chancellery of the National Council are in permanent contact with experts from the Ministries for subsidiarity matters.

During the subsidiarity check, neither regional deliberative bodies nor local stakeholders are consulted by the National Council.

Since they do not hold legislative powers, local and regional authorities are not involved in the subsidiarity check.
