COSAC can provide opinions and recommendations relating to the EU's activities, also known as contributions, to EU institutions and the national parliaments. COSAC's contributions are non-binding for the national parliaments. COSAC can also adopt conclusions on its own activities.
A plenary meeting is held every six months. Every national parliament and the European Parliament participate in the plenary meeting with up to six members. The Chair of the Committee on EU Affairs will host the plenary meeting at the Riksdag.
