In its amended proposal, the Commission incorporates two types of amendments adopted by Parliament: - one amendment seeking to supplement the arrangements laid down in the proposal: . to improve the definitions of 'intra-Community flight' and 'intra-Community sea-crossing' in order to align them on those laid down within the framework of the draft Convention on the crossing of the external frontiers of the Member States and the Schengen Convention; - two amendments that seek to confirm the Community basis for the proposal: . by inserting a reference to Article 3(d) of the EEC Treaty, thus more closely integrating the proposal in to the framework of the internal market, . by inserting the date of 31 December 1992 alongside the reference to Article 7A of the EC Treaty in the first recital of the proposal. �
