ANNEX: OPINION OF THE CONSULTATIVE WORKING PARTY OF THE LEGAL SERVICES OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL AND THE COMMISSION

OPINION

FOR THE ATTENTION OF           THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

Proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the legal protection of computer programs

COM(2008) 23 final of 28.1.2008 – 2008/0019 (COD)

Having regard to the Inter-institutional Agreement of 20 December 1994 on an accelerated working method for official codification of legislative texts, and in particular to point 4 thereof, the Consultative Working Party, consisting of the respective legal services of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, met on 6 February 2008 for the purpose of examining, among others, the aforementioned proposal submitted by the Commission.

At that meeting[1], an examination of the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council codifying Council Directive 91/250/EEC of 14 May 1991 on the legal protection of computer programs resulted in the Consultative Working Party’s establishing, by common accord, that Recital 16, corresponding to Recital 25 of Directive 91/250/EEC, should be removed from the preamble to the codified text.

In consequence, examination of the proposal has enabled the Consultative Working Party to conclude, without dissent, that the proposal is a straightforward codification of existing texts, without any change in their substance.
