Legal professions : action programme Robert SCHUMAN, project to improve awareness of Community law

The rapporteur stressed the importance of practical rather than academic training in the area of Community law which statistics showed was still not sufficiently well known among the legal professions. While agreeing with the choice of legal basis in the original proposal, the rapporteur said that the 23 amendments tabled aimed to strengthen its scope. Commissioner de Silguy welcomed the agreement between the Commission and Parliament on the legal basis proposed and said that all the amendments tabled could be accepted, subject to a small editorial precision to be applied to Amendment No 20.
