Common agricultural policy (CAP): repealing obsolete acts

The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development adopted the report by Czesław Adam SIEKIERSKI (EPP, PL) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council repealing Council Directive 76/621/EEC relating to the fixing of the maximum level of erucic acid in oils and fats and Council Regulation (EC) No 320/2006 establishing a temporary scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry.

The committee recommended that the European Parliament’s position adopted at first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure, should amend the Commission proposal.

Members proposed that the reference to Article 114 TFEU should be added to the reference to Articles 42 and 43(2) in order to enhance consistency with the double legal basis (Agriculture and Internal market policy) used for the adoption of Directive 76/621/EEC relating to the fixing of the maximum level of erucic acid in oils and fats.
