Trans-European energy networks: guidelines

The Council noted the progress of the work, under the codecision procedure with the European Parliament, on the proposal for a decision laying down a series of guidelines on trans-European energy networks. On 20 November 1995, the Council had noted that it was unable to accept all the amendments proposed by the European Parliament. Contacts have since taken place between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission with a view to preparing for the Conciliation Committee meeting.
