The Committee on Legal Affairs adopted the report by Lidia Joanna GERINGER de OEDENBERG (S-D, PL) approving, under the consultation procedure, the proposal for a Council Directive on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and eggs for hatching (codified version).
The text was approved as adapted to the recommendations of the Consultative Working Party of the legal services of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission.
The examination of the proposal has enabled the Consultative Working Party to conclude, without dissent, that the proposal is a straightforward codification of existing texts, without any change in their substance.
