Comitology: exercise of implementing powers conferred to the Commission

The European Parliament considered a number of amendments to the Commission's proposal. (Please refer to the summary dated 23/04/03.) Parliament decided to refer this proposal back to committee for further discussions pursuant to Rule 69(2), after Commissioner Margot Wallström said she could only accept a number of amendments. At issue, is the Commission's commitment to modify any changes to implementing measures to take account of Parliament's views, with the Commission at this stage only prepared to "possibly" agree to this.�
