Consumer policy: Community action programme 2007-2013

2005/0042B(COD)

The Commission considers that the common position adopted by unanimity is in line with the essential objectives and underlying approach of its modified proposal. It notes that the Chair of the European Parliament’s Internal Market and Consumer Protection committee confirmed that, should the Council reach a political agreement on the basis of the Presidency compromise text, he would recommend the committee to adopt the common position without amendments. The Commission can therefore support the common position which reflects the agreement reached between the three institutions.
