The European Parliament adopted the resolution drafted by Inger SEGELSTRÖM (PES, SE) and approved the Council’s common position.
In the legislative resolution approving the common position, Parliament drew attention to the statement made by the Commission at the plenary sitting of 6 September 2007, according to which the Commission committed itself, exceptionally, to transmit as swiftly as possible to the Chair of the competent parliamentary committee the draft annual work programmes relating to the specific programme, in addition to sending them via the comitology register. The Commission also made a commitment to inform the European Parliament as soon as possible about any changes made to them following committee meetings of that committee.
