The Committee on Legal Affairs adopted the report drafted by József SZAJER (EPP-ED, HU) and made some amendments to the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council adapting a number of instruments subject to the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty to Council Decision 1999/468/EC, as amended by Decision 2006/512/EC, with regard to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny – Adaptation to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny – Part Four.
The Rapporteur proposed to other committees that the alignment packages should be adopted as soon as possible, in order for the RPS procedure to start applying to the existing acquis before the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon (which contains important provisions on delegated acts, which will replace RPS, but which will take time to be adopted via codecision). The present Report contains several amendments that were suggested by other committees in their opinions, received in form of letters, as well as amendments relating to the dossiers of the Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety.
