The Committee on International Trade adopted a report drafted by Jan ZAHRADIL (ECR, CZ) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1541/98 on proof of origin for certain textile products falling within Section XI of the Combined Nomenclature and released for free circulation in the Community, and on the conditions for the acceptance of such proof and amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries.

It recommended that the European Parliament adopt its position at first reading, under the ordinary legislative procedure, taking over the Commission proposal.
