Summary
The dossier concerns unilateral statements in the minutes of the Council. Amendments revise recitals and paragraphs stating that unilateral statements by Member States or the Council may adversely affect Parliament's legislative powers, damage the quality of Union legislation and undermine legal certainty, that statements not incorporated into a legal text have no legal force, and that such statements should be avoided during the legislative procedure and notified to Parliament.
