Govt Creates 35 Working Groups for EU Legislation
The government has formed 35 working groups that will be in charge of drafting positions that will aid the authorities in the adoption of legislative proposals and other acts in the EU. The new working groups will continue the work of similar groups set up by the previous government in May 2003, the government said on Thursday.
The new composition was necessary due to certain organisational changes (certain jurisdictions have been reshuffled among individual ministries) and the associated staff changes.
The individual working groups are headed by the ministries or government agencies in charge of the respective matter, but they include other ministries and departments whose work is related.
The working groups roughly correspond to the EU's organisational structure and thus include, among others, external relations and institutional affairs; security and defence; structural and regional policy; budget; and free movement of persons.
