Subcommittee

The formation of sub-committees is then decided when the agendas of a parliamentary committee expand considerably and the members can therefore no longer familiarize themselves with all matters to be dealt with.

The subcommittee is generally required to report to the parent committee and its decisions must be submitted to it for approval. As a rule, therefore, some members of the higher-level committee are also sent to the sub-committee.

Examples

• standing sub-committees of main parliamentary committees . Whether all parliamentary parties are represented in it - as in the main committee of the National Council of Austria - depends on the number of members and parliamentary groups.
• in the European Parliament the subcommittee on security and defense - because the committee on foreign affairs, human rights, common security and defense policy has very wide-ranging agendas.
• the Foreign Cultural and Educational Policy subcommittee - to support the Foreign Affairs Committee in the German Bundestag.
