At the sitting of 28 January 2004 the President of Parliament announced that he had referred the proposal to the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market as the committee responsible and the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy for its opinion (C5‑0038/2004).

The Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market appointed Sir Neil MacCormick rapporteur at its meeting of 19 February 2004.

At its meeting of 6 April 2004 the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market decided, on a proposal from the chairman, to apply the simplified procedure under Rule 158(1), and the chairman was thus appointed rapporteur.

The following were present for the decision on the chairman's proposal: Willi Rothley, Ioannis Koukiadis and Bill Miller (vice-chairmen), Uma Aaltonen, Ward Beysen, Bert Doorn, Janelly Fourtou, Marie-Françoise Garaud, Evelyne Gebhardt, Fiorella Ghilardotti, Malcolm Harbour, Sir Neil MacCormick, Hans-Peter Mayer (for Kurt Lechner), Manuel Medina Ortega, Elena Ornella Paciotti (for Carlos Candal), Anne-Marie Schaffner, Ian Twinn (for Lord Inglewood), Diana Wallis and Stefano Zappalà.

The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy decided on 16 February 2004 not to deliver and opinion.

The report was tabled on 7 April 2004.
