Topic: Consultation procedure

	Consultation procedure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Consultation procedure is one of the legislative procedures of the European Community, the 1st of the three pillars of the European Union.
		Under this procedure the European Commission sends its proposal to both the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament, but it is the Council that officially consults Parliament and other bodies such as the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions.
		In some cases, consultation is compulsory because the legal basis requires it and the proposal cannot become law unless Parliament has given its opinion.

	Codecision procedure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The codecision procedure is the main legislative procedure by which law can be adopted in the European Community, the first of the three pillars of the European Union.
		The codecision procedure gives the European Parliament the power to adopt legislation jointly with the Council of the European Union, requiring the two bodies to agree on an identical text before any proposal can become law.
		Under the codecision procedure, a new legislative proposal is drafted by the European Commission.

	4. Articulation of the general consultation procedure with other consultation procedures - ANACOM
		In these cases, the regulator may match the deadline of the previous hearing with the deadline of the general consultation procedure, although it is not compulsory that it occurs.
		The general consultation procedure is different from the requests for na opinion to several entities, as it is the case of the Competition Authority, the Institute for the Consumer or sector regulators, foreseen in the Electronic Communications Law in typified cases.
		Regardless of the realization of the consultation procedures, ANACOM may, before adopting any decision, promote discussions about the matter in question with entities that may be affected by the measure or with entities that represent its interests.

	Watson Wyatt - Multinational
		Its main objective is to provide employees with the right to information and consultation about the business in which they work and its prospects, with particular emphasis on the outlook for employment.
		If the procedure is to avoid becoming a bureaucratic or administrative burden, it should be shaped by the contribution to employee relations and business goals rather than compliance objectives.
		If the procedure is purely compliance driven, then it is less likely to make any contribution to the business as a whole.

	CIPD - European Works Councils
		There is no obligation for companies to establish an EWC or transnational information and consultation procedure unless either company management takes the initiative to do so, or employees (or their representatives) trigger the request procedure laid down in the Directive.
		Consultation with CIPD members in 2003 showed little support for changes to the legislation and a shared concern about proposed amendments to the Directive put forward by the ETUC and the European Parliament.
		Under current legislation, consultation means ‘the exchange of views and establishment of dialogue between EWC members and senior management’ (the ETUC proposed that the directive should specify consultation as being ‘with a view to reaching agreement’).

	Information for MA holders
		If the indication that is to be considered in the consultation procedure is a new therapeutic area in comparison with the indications for which the authorised products are approved, this is considered as a new use of an existing substance.
		If the request for consultation concerns a range of products, the MEB can decide to charge the fee only once.
		This relates to variations concerning the "quality, safety or usefulness" of the substance that forms an integral part of the medical device but that would be a medicinal product if used alone, where a consultation with a competent authority has previously taken place for this substance resulting in certification of the product concerned.

	:: Artist From Abroad \| Immigration \| O & P Visa Classifications \| Special O-1 Consultation Procedures ::
		A reason to consider using the special O-1B consultation procedure despite the risk of delay is that, by law, unions have fifteen days to respond to USCIS consultation requests, after which USCIS is free to adjudicate the petition without the consultation.
		Petitioners resolved to use this O-1B procedure should state in their accompanying letter that they are enclosing a non-labor consultation and are relying on USCIS to obtain the labor consultation under the procedures set forth at 8 CFR § 1214.2(o)(5)(i)(F).
		Also, in O-1B cases, a new labor consultation is unnecessary if the alien is re-entering the U.S. to perform similar services within two years of the date of a previous O-1B labor consultation.
