In a resolution adopted on 1 February 2018, the European Committee of the Regions noted that a legislative proposal of the European Commission concerning a Regulation that changes the rules governing the EU regional funds for 2014-2020 did not comply with the principle of subsidiarity. Accordingly, the Committee considered challenging the legislative proposal before the Court of Justice if the proposal was formally agreed upon. Although at a later stage the European Commission decided to take into account the Committee’s argument and amended the proposal accordingly, such a context offers the chance to investigate more in detail the role of the Committee of the Regions in the legislative process of the EU and, more in particular, its role as a watchdog of the principle of subsidiarity. This paper aims to shed light on a rather neglected aspect of the EU constitutional practice, such as the potential of the Committee of the Regions to contribute to the legislative process, and answer the question of whether this Committee is the right body to guarantee compliance with the principle of subsidiarity.

Abstract: The crucial problem that Science has to face today is to successfully cope with the growing complexity of society. To understand the system to which we belong to, it is necessary to understand the nature of interdependence: the greater the interdependence is, the greater the need for communication and cooperation. The European model, which initially promised to be a social and regional model, decentralized and democratic, is blocked. A situation that we can describe as no-evolution, that Spain also suffers at the same time as Europe, when it comes to progress towards a mature and democratic state, what was expected since the beginning of the transition to democracy. The debate can be thought from the “European Committee of the Regions” (CoR) or “Europe of the regions”, or dismantle that topic, which would entail an involution from the reduction of decentralization and heterogeneity that sustains a higher complexity. Resumen: El problema crucial que la Ciencia tiene que encarar hoy es hacer frente con éxito a la complejidad creciente de la sociedad. Para entender el sistema al que pertenecemos, es necesario comprender la naturaleza de la interdependencia: mientras mayor sea la interdependencia, mayor será la necesidad de comunicación y cooperación. El modelo europeo, que inicialmente prometía ser un modelo social y regional, descentralizado y democrático, está bloqueado. Una situación que podemos calificar de no evolución, que paralelamente también sufre España como Europa, a la hora de progresar hacia un estado maduro y democrático, lo que se apuntaba en el principio de la transición hacia la democracia. El debate cabe pensarlo desde el “Comité Europeo de las Regiones” (CoR) o la “Europa de las regiones”, o desmontar ese tópico, lo que conllevaría una involución a partir de la reducción de descentralización y heterogeneidad que sostiene una superior complejidad.

As with its previous editions, the 20th edition of this yearbook has been conceived as a wide-ranging compendium that provides its readers with an up-to-date overview of different aspects of federal and regional structures and politics. The 30 contributions it contains can be grouped according to the following main topics: Nine contributions (including one by the chief minister of Baden-Württemburg, Winfried Kretschmann) address the book’s principal subject: 70 years of federalism in Germany. Four of them deal with current areas of research into federalism (including federal reform in Switzerland). Four of them examine issues related to German federalism (including the phasing out of fossil fuels and the promotion of digitalisation in schools). There are eight reports on European countries (including Italy, Austria and the UK). There is one report on a non-European country (Pakistan). Two of the contributions examine regional and municipal cooperation in Europe (including cooperation between communities on different sides of a national border). Two of them address the European Union/European integration (including the European Committee of the Regions). With contributions by Winfried Kretschmann, Rudolf Hrbek, Ursula Münch, Arthur Benz, Albert Funk, Wolfgang Renzsch, Klaus Detterbeck, Thomas Petersen, Martin Große Hüttmann, Patrick Finke, Markus M.

Food composition data (FCD) comprises the description and identification of foods, as well as their nutrient content, other constituents, and food properties. FCD are required for a range of purposes including food labeling, supporting health claims, nutritional and clinical management, consumer information, and research. There have been differences within and beyond Europe in the way FCD are expressed with respect to food description, definition of nutrients and other food properties, and the methods used to generate data. One of the major goals of the EuroFIR NoE project (2005 - 10) was to provide tools to overcome existing differences among member states and parties with respect to documentation and interchange of FCD. The establishment of the CEN’s (European Committee for Standardisation) TC 387 project committee on Food Composition Data, led by the Swedish Standards Institute, and the preparation of the draft Food Data Standard, has addressed these deficiencies by enabling unambiguous identification and description of FCD and their quality, for dissemination and data interchange. Another major achievement of the EuroFIR NoE project was the development and dissemination of a single, authoritative source of FCD in Europe enabling the interchange and update of data between countries, and also giving access to users of FCD.
