The common position fully endorses the objectives of the proposal, that is, to simplify the existing nomenclature and to facilitate the work of both contracting authorities and economic operators. The flexible mechanism integrated to include future modifications has been approved as being entirely appropriate. This way, any possible shortcomings in details, which cannot be excluded from the outset (given the detailed classification of goods on more than 250 pages) will be efficiently accommodated. With regard to the articles, the Council only integrated some minor modifications, predominantly the standard wording of the article for the comitology procedure, which is a purely editorial point, and a longer time period for the transposition of the CPV. The latter modification was justified in order to facilitate even further the application of CPV in the future.�
