The European Union Committee〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Committee home page )〕 is a select committee of the House of Lords in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Its terms of reference are "To consider European Union documents and other matters relating to the European Union", as well as "to represent the House as appropriate in interparliamentary co-operation within the European Union".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=House of Lords Hansard, 16 May 2012, col. 400 )〕 Much of the detailed scrutiny work on EU documents is conducted by the sub-committees, each dealing with a separate policy area. The main committee oversees the work of the sub-committees and approves their reports and scrutinises proposals that cross subject areas, such as the Treaty of Lisbon and the multiannual financial framework. In addition, the main committee takes evidence on the EU presidency from each incoming Presidency country, and on meetings of the Council of the European Union from the Minister for Europe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=European Union Committee—Role )〕 Committee members represent the House of Lords at a number of different interparliamentary meetings, such as COSAC and (joint committee meetings ) at the European Parliament. As part of their work representing the House in interparliamentary co-operation within the EU, the committees contribute to the IPEX database, which brings together information about national parliamentary scrutiny from all EU Member States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=House of Lords IPEX entry )〕 ==Select Committee membership== The Select Committee has nineteen members: the chairman, the chairmen of the sub-committees, and other members, all of whom also sit on sub-committees.
