Key points

The proposal aims to reform the existing system of control over how the Commission implements EU laws.
New rules would increase transparency by making individual Member State votes and their reasons public.
In sensitive areas like health or environmental protection, a lack of a positive majority would mean an authorization is automatically refused.
The chair or a majority of Member States can call for a second meeting at a high political (ministerial) level if no opinion is reached.
