Comitology refers to the committee system used in the European Union which oversees the acts implemented by the European Commission.
The committees, which are forums for discussion, are made up of representatives from EU member states and are chaired by the Commission. They ensure that the Commission is able to establish a dialogue with national administrations before implementing measures. The Commission ensures that they reflect, as far as possible, the situation in each country in question.
The procedures that determine the relationship between the Commission and the committees are based on a European Council decision from June 28, 1999.
