The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety adopted, by a large majority, the report drafted by Karl-Heinz FLORENZ (EPP-ED, DE) amending – at first reading of the codecision procedure - Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, as regards the implementing powers conferred to the Commission.
This new comitology procedure shall apply to certain aspects of the Directive. The references to this procedure should be clear and not entail any extension of time limits compared to the standard time limits of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny.
It should be noted that the committee adopted one technical amendment. According to the committee, it is inappropriate to curtail the standard time limits of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny.
