National legislative procedures

In my PhD I examined the category of obligations to consult EU institutions on national law drafts. In case of obligations to consult EU institutions on national law drafts, the Member States have the competency to issue new laws. However, during the national legislative procedure, they must notify the European Commission or European Central Bank about the draft and follow the objectives laid down in the EU primary or secondary law provision. Some of the duties open Member State’s legal orders to an influence of other States due to their right to issue statements in respect of the notified national law.
