1995 REPORT RECOMMENDATION
The Hierarchy of Norms and Comitology
We have in particular repeatedly
called for more resources to be devoted to the politically unglamorous
task of consolidation...(294)
On comitology, we are not persuaded
that the practice on delegation to the Commission is seriously
at fault... We do not agree with the proposal by the European
Parliament that Management and Regulatory Committees should be
abolished.(295)
OUTCOME OF THE TREATY
The Hierarchy of Norms and Comitology
A Declaration annexed to the final
Act affirms the importance of the quality of drafting of Community
legislation and considers that the three institutions involved
in adopting Community legislation should lay down guidelines on
the quality of drafting. The Declaration also welcomes the inter-institutional
agreement on an accelerated working method for official codification
of legislative texts and encourages all the institutions involved
to make their best efforts to accelerate the codification of legislative
texts.
No changes proposed to comitology,
but a declaration calls on the Commission to submit, by the end
of 1998, proposals for change.
