Exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked to the Stabilisation and Association process. Codification

The Committee on Legal Affairs adopted the report by Magdalena ADAMOWICZ (EPP, PL) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked to the Stabilisation and Association process (codification).

The committee responsible recommended that the European Parliament adopt its position at first reading by taking over the Commission proposal as adapted to the recommendations of the Consultative Working Party of the Legal Services of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission.

When examining the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council to codify Council Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 of 30 November 2009 introducing exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked to the European Union's Stabilisation and Association process, the group agreed that the proposal effectively confines itself to a straightforward codification of the existing texts, without any change in their substance.
