	Assent procedure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The assent procedure is one of the legislative procedures of the European Community, the 1st of the Three pillars of the European Union.
		The procedure is the same as in the case of consultation, except that Parliament cannot amend a proposal: it must either accept or reject it.
		Following the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam, Parliament's assent is also required in the event of sanctions being imposed on a Member State for a serious and persistent breach of fundamental rights under the new Article 7 of the EU Treaty.

	European Union legislative procedure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The codecision procedure was introduzed with the Maastricht Treaty (1993).
		Under this procedure, Council is required to consult Parliament on legislative proposals (as well as other bodies such as the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions).
		Since its replacement by the codecision procedure in most areas, however, it is today used for revision of the treaties, adoption of external treaties, associations and enlargements of the EU.

		The "assent" procedure is required in cases such as applications for membership of the Union and certain major international agreements.
		The assent procedure was introduced by the Single European Act as a way of giving the right of veto to the European Parliament over certain important decisions taken by the Council of Ministers such as EU membership, uniform electoral procedures and free movement of persons.
		The procedure requires the European Parliament to give its assent by an absolute majority of its total membership in favour of the legislative act in question before the Council could adopt the act.

	Module 4: The Institutional Terrain
		With the new procedure, the Parliament was granted two readings of all draft legislation requiring a qualified majority vote in the Council of Ministers.
		Unlike legislation passed under the consultation and cooperation procedures, which bears the name of the Council only, legislation subject to co-decision is made in the name of both the Council and the Parliament.
		Assent: Established under the SEA, the assent procedure stipulates that proposals must be approved by both the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament.

		This debate is concluded by the decision on the assent.
		Contrary to consultation within the legislative procedure, which has to be concluded within a reasonable period, the veto power in the assent procedure means Parliament is free to choose the moment when to decide whether to give its assent to an application for accession or an association agreement forwarded by the Council.
		The procedure used in the case of simple consultations on the basis of the institutional agreements does not correspond to the procedure described in the EP's Rules of Procedure.

	Frequently Asked Questions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		An assent procedure is a consent procedure to be used with subjects under 12 years of age, for whom a written form is considered inappropriate.
		The assent procedure is delivered orally, in language understandable to the subject, and incorporates the basic elements of informed consent.
		In addition, the assent procedure should clearly obtain the subject's assent, that is, the child's affirmative agreement to participate in the research (mere failure to object should not be construed as assent).

	What decision-making procedures are there in the EU?
		In broad outline, the principle of the EU legislative procedure boils down to the fact that legislation comes into being as a result of the Commission drawing up proposals for rules, while laws are either jointly adopted by the Council and the European Parliament or by the Council acting alone.
		The assent procedure was introduced by the Single European Act in 1987 and its scope was extended by the Maastricht Treaty to include a number of cases which it was wished to exclude from the codecision procedure, but where there was nevertheless a wish to allocate an important role to the European Parliament.
		The principle of the assent procedure is that the Council and Parliament must agree on the text to be adopted.

		The subject's ability to comprehend the consent form or assent procedure: The language in the consent form or assent procedure must be tailored to the age and educational level of the children so that they will be able to understand all the information required for informed consent.
		The need for affirmative consent or assent: When a minor age 12 or older or an adult signs a consent form, they are making an affirmative consent; that is, it is clear that they are giving active consent to participate.

	Assent Procedure in the European Parliament (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The assent procedure means that all external treaties, associations and enlargements of the EU have to be approved by the EP.
		This assent procedure also applies to various internal matters, including important ile-posts in the institutionalisation of monetary union, arrangements for a uniform electoral procedure and for Union citizenship.
		As the EU is likely to be enlarged in several incremental stages, the assent procedure may provide the EP with important leverage in any compromise between the widening of the EU's membership and the deepening of its internal integration.

		I find that the age of the adolescent participants to be recruited for this study, however, mitigates the risk because they are able to understand, assent, cooperate and tolerate these “risks” in a manner that an infant or young child might not be able to do.
		Both the consent and assent forms should describe, specifically, the amount of radiation to which the subject will be exposed.
		The language of the youth assent forms is no more challenging to comprehend than the consent forms, so there seems no value to having different descriptions.

	The Conclusion and Implementation of the Uruguay Round Results by the European Community (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In the case of the parliamentary assent for the agreements resulting from the Uruguay Round, matters were considerably complicated by two factors: the time factor and the fact that at that stage (late April 1994) there was no agreement on the legal basis proposed by the Commission, either in favour or against.
		The Commission had hoped that requesting assent under Article 228(3), second alinea, in the case of the Uruguay Round Agreements, might break the objective alliance between Council and Parliament on the minimalistic interpretation of Article 113, but that was not to be.
		The impression given by the text, however, is that the Parliament gave its assent to the conclusion of the Uruguay Round treaties in general, rather than to the specific way in which the Council intended to conclude them, as manifested by its decision.

		This procedure requires the Council to obtain the opinion of the European Parliament (and sometimes also the opinions of ECOSOC and the Committee of the Regions) before adopting legislation.
		Under the Co-Decision Procedure, the Council and the Parliament are jointly responsible for the final adoption of legislation.
		The procedures in the other two pillars (the Common Foreign and Security Policy and Co-operation in the fields of Justice and Home Affairs) are different, for although the Council of Ministers plays much the same role, the legislative instruments are not the same.

		The assent procedure, whereby the Council must obtain Parliament's assent before certain important decisions can be taken, was introduced by the Single European Act.
		The codecision procedure (Article 251 of the EC Treaty, formerly Article 189b) was introduced by the Treaty of Maastricht.
		Since the codecision procedure is regarded as a complement to qualified majority voting, the Commission argued, in its opinion on the Intergovernmental Conference launched in February 2000, in favour of extending the procedure to legislative acts for adoption by qualified majority.

		PROCEDURAL PAGE By letter of {26/11/2001}26 November 2001 the Commission submitted to Parliament, pursuant to Article 251(2) and Articles 95 and 152 of the EC Treaty, the proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive amending Directive 2001/83/EC on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use (COM(2001) 404 - 2001/0253 (COD)).
