The Time for Change?
This chapter offers a rather extensive summary. It hopes that it makes it possible to see a pattern with respect to the development of the committee system: the rather surprising consistency with which the actors involved have taken their positions. Importantly, it will also show which actors and positions have dominated the development and, indeed, the crucial moments of change, when prior positions have been reconsidered or even abandoned. Even if some conclusions presented deal with the more general aspects of the development of the committee system, the focus is on the actors and their positions. This chapter discusses overall conclusions the context of some recent events which are likely to have implications for the future of comitology and, indeed, the legal order which it is a part of.
