Abstract
This article examines the implication for parliamentarization of European integration flowing from devolution in Britain. Devolution has resulted in the creation of new third-level institutions in both Scotland and Wales. A key expectation is that the new polities will be effective vehicles for the influence of territorial societal preferences within the EU policy process. This article examines the new arrangements for the conduct of `asymmetric scrutiny' of EU documents within the devolved UK and explores the impact that devolution has on this ex ante parliamentary function. The article crystallizes thought on a broader theoretical claim that European governance beyond the state contains a strong normative element, with the overall institutional arrangement seen to lack parliamentary control of the legislative process. The article argues that any consideration of high/low parliamentarization within a multi-level system must engage with institutional cultural aspects which underpin organizational rules.
