stipulate that any safeguard measures should be adopted in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and the Council; enable the Commission to adopt immediately applicable implementing acts where, in duly justified cases relating to exceptional and critical circumstances arising, imperative grounds of urgency so require.

ENTRY INTO FORCE: 15.7.2015. Regulation (EC) No 153/2002 is repealed.

The European Parliament adopted by 628 votes to 49, with 19 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part (codified text).

Parliament adopted its position at first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure taking over the Commission proposal.

The Consultative Working Party of the legal services of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission concluded that the proposal in question contains a straightforward codification of the existing texts without any change in their substance.

The proposed codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 153/2002 seeks to adopt the application of certain measures of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part (SAA) which was signed in Luxembourg on 9 April 2001 and entered into force on 1 April 2004.

The proposal mainly seeks to:

lay down provisions for the calculation of the reduced rate of customs duties for certain products imported into the Union originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia; enable the Commission, assisted by the Committee established by Article 229 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, to adopt the Regulations opening up and providing for the administration of the tariff quotas for ‘baby beef’ products; provide that the Commission, assisted by the Committee, adopt the Regulations opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas which might be granted as a result of negotiations on further tariff concessions pursuant to Article 29 of the SAA; provide that duties should be totally suspended where preferential treatment results in ad valorem duties of 1% or less, or in specific duties of EUR 1 or less; stipulates that the implementation of the safeguard clauses should be adopted in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (comitology); enable the Commission to adopt immediately applicable implementing acts where, in duly justified cases relating to exceptional and critical circumstances, imperative grounds of urgency so require.

The Committee on Legal Affairs adopted the report by DUDA (ECR, PL ) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part (codified text).

The parliamentary committee recommends that the European Parliament adopts its position at first reading, 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.

The draft proposal is accompanied by an opinion of a Consultative Working Party of the respective legal services. This stated, by common accord, that in the first paragraph of Article 7 of the draft codified text the words "as provided for in Articles 38 and 39 of the SAA" should be adapted so as to read "as provided for in Articles 37 and 38 of the SAA".

As a result, the Consultative Working Party concluded that the proposal is a straightforward codification of existing texts, without any change in their substance.

PURPOSE: to codify Council Regulation (EC) No 153/2002 on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part, and for applying the Interim Agreement between the European Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.

ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.

CONTENT: in the interests of clarity and rationality, the purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 153/2002 of 21 January 2002 on certain procedures for applying

the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part, and for applying the Interim Agreement between the European Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

Council Regulation (EC) No 153/2002 has been substantially amended several times. It is recalled that on 1 April 1987 the Commission decided to instruct its staff that all acts should be codified after no more than ten amendments, stressing that this is a minimum requirement.

The Conclusions of the Presidency of the December 1992 Edinburgh European Council confirmed this, stressing the importance of codification.

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreed, by an interinstitutional agreement dated 20 December 1994, that an accelerated procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments.

The new proposed Regulation will supersede the various acts incorporated in it ; this proposal fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.

  • The European Parliament adopted by 628 votes to 49, with 19 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part (codified text).

    Parliament adopted its position at first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure taking over the Commission proposal.

    The Consultative Working Party of the legal services of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission concluded that the proposal in question contains a straightforward codification of the existing texts without any change in their substance.

    The proposed codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 153/2002 seeks to adopt the application of certain measures of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part (SAA) which was signed in Luxembourg on 9 April 2001 and entered into force on 1 April 2004.

    The proposal mainly seeks to:

    • lay down provisions for the calculation of the reduced rate of customs duties for certain products imported into the Union originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia;
    • enable the Commission, assisted by the Committee established by Article 229 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, to adopt the Regulations opening up and
    • providing for the administration of the tariff quotas for ‘baby beef’ products;
    • provide that the Commission, assisted by the Committee,  adopt the Regulations opening and providing for the administration of  tariff quotas which might be granted as a result of negotiations on further tariff concessions pursuant to Article 29 of the SAA;
    • provide that duties should be totally suspended where preferential treatment results in ad valorem duties of 1% or less, or in specific duties of EUR 1 or less;
    • stipulates that the implementation of the safeguard clauses should be adopted in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (comitology);
    • enable the Commission to adopt immediately applicable implementing acts where, in duly justified cases relating to exceptional and critical circumstances, imperative grounds of urgency so require.

  • The Committee on Legal Affairs adopted the report by DUDA (ECR, PL) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part (codified text).

    The parliamentary committee recommends that the European Parliament adopts its position at first reading, 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.

    The draft proposal is accompanied by an opinion of a Consultative Working Party of the respective legal services. This stated, by common accord, that in the first paragraph of Article 7 of the draft codified text the words "as provided for in Articles 38 and 39 of the SAA" should be adapted so as to read "as provided for in Articles 37 and 38 of the SAA".

    As a result, the Consultative Working Party concluded that the proposal is a straightforward codification of existing texts, without any change in their substance.

  • PURPOSE: to codify Council Regulation (EC) No 153/2002 on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part, and for applying the Interim Agreement between the European Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

    PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.

    ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.

    CONTENT: in the interests of clarity and rationality, the purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 153/2002 of 21 January 2002 on certain procedures for applying

    the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part, and for applying the Interim Agreement between the European Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

    Council Regulation (EC) No 153/2002 has been substantially amended several times. It is recalled that on 1 April 1987 the Commission decided to instruct its staff that all acts should be codified after no more than ten amendments, stressing that this is a minimum requirement.

    The Conclusions of the Presidency of the December 1992 Edinburgh European Council confirmed this, stressing the importance of codification.

    The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreed, by an interinstitutional agreement dated 20 December 1994, that an accelerated procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments.

    The new proposed Regulation will supersede the various acts incorporated in it; this proposal fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.
