Policy paper: EU (Approvals) Bill: summary factsheet

The purpose of the Bill is to approve 4 draft decisions of the Council of the European Union. This is to fulfil a requirement in section 8 of the European Union Act 2011, which requires Parliament to approve draft decisions made under Article 352 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Parliamentary approval will enable the UK to vote in favour of the draft decisions.

The first draft decision relates to the participation of the Republic of Albania as an observer in the work of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights.

The second draft decision relates to the participation of the Republic of Serbia as an observer in the work of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights.

The third and fourth draft decisions relate to the signing and conclusion of an agreement between the EU and the government of Canada that will allow enhanced cooperation between the European Commission and the Canadian Competition Bureau on competition matters.
