Internal market: conditions and procedure by which the Commission may request undertakings to provide information

The Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection adopted the report by Eva MAYDELL (EPP, BG) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council setting out the conditions and procedure by which the Commission may request undertakings and associations of undertakings to provide information in relation to the internal market and related areas.

The committee recommended that the European Parliament adopt its position at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure without changing the substance of the Commission's proposal.

Following the opinion of the Legal Service of the European Parliament, and awaiting the opinion of the committee of Legal Affairs on the legal basis of the proposed Regulation in application of the RoP 39, it is proposed to restrict the legal basis to the Article 337 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
