COM(2008)873 of 19.1.2009 – 2008/0253(CNS)
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 20 January 2009 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 Council directive codifying Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC resulted in the Consultative Working Party’s establishing, by common accord, as follows.
1) In the introductory wording of Article 6(3) in the codified text, the initial words "Before 1 January 1992, and", which appear in the introductory wording of Article 6(3) of Directive 91/496/EEC, should be re-introduced.
2) In the second subparagraph of Article 6(4) in the codified text, the initial words "Before 1 January 1992,", which appear in the second subparagraph of Article 6(4) of Directive 91/496/EEC, should be re-introduced.
3) In Annex III, Part B, in correspondence with the indication "91/628/EEC" the time-limit for transposition of that directive into national law should be indicated as being 31 December 1992.
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.
