The committee adopted the report by its chairman, Struan STEVENSON (EPP-ED, UK) approving the proposal subject to two amendments (consultation procedure). It called for the Commission to submit a legislative proposal, within 6 months of the regulation's entry into force, clearly laying down Community powers and responsibilities as regards inspection and monitoring. Moreover, within one year the Commission should submit to Parliament and Council an up-to-date study of the cost of the inspection and monitoring services provided by various entities in the Member States, and an assessment of the cost of a strictly Community body performing those same tasks.�
