Treaty of Amsterdam takes effect and for each (a) the likely effect on departmental staffing, (b) the bodies or persons in the European Union principally concerned and (c) the relevant section of that treaty and the consolidated treaties of the European Union and European Community. [80413]
The Treaty of Amsterdam will have minimal impact on the responsibilities of the Department and its staffing. As far as EU bodies are concerned, there will be an increased role for the European Parliament, following the amendment to Article 130u-y of the Treaty to extend the co-decision procedure to cover regulations agreed under these articles. This will include those for humanitarian aid, food aid, assistance to NGOs and environmental projects. The strengthening of the Common Foreign and Security Policy will also have some implications for DFID, for example in so far as it relates to assistance to third countries.
