EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.           CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

The proposal for a Council Directive adapting
certain directives in the field of free movement of goods is necessitated by
the upcoming accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union.

The Treaty concerning the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union[1]
was signed by all Member States of the European Union and the Republic of Croatia at Brussels on 9 December 2011.

Article 3 (3) of the Treaty of Accession
provides that it shall enter into force on 1 July 2013 provided that all the
instruments of ratification have been deposited before that date.

Article 3(4) of the Treaty of Accession enables
the institutions of the Union to adopt before accession measures referred to,
inter alia, in Article 50 of the Act concerning the conditions of accession of
the Republic of Croatia[2].
These measures shall enter into force only subject to and on the date of the
entry into force of the Treaty of Accession.

Article 50 of the Act of Accession provides that where acts of the institutions adopted prior to
accession require adaptation by reason of accession, and the necessary
adaptations have not been provided for in this Act or its Annexes, the Council
or the Commission (if the original acts were adopted by the Commission) shall
adopt the necessary acts.

Point 2 of the Final Act[3] refers
to the political agreement on a set of adaptations to be adopted by the
institutions which was reached between the Member States and Croatia in the
context of the approval of the Treaty of Accession; the High Contracting
Parties of the Treaty of Accession invited the Council and the Commission to
adopt these adaptations before accession in accordance with Article 50 of the
Act of Accession, completed and updated where necessary to take account of the
evolution of the law of the Union.

The present proposal covers all Council
directives as well as European Parliament and Council directives which require
technical adaptation by reason of the accession of Croatia in the field of free
movement of goods – corresponding to negotiation chapter 1.

This proposal is part of a series of proposals
for Council directives by the Commission to the Council which regroup the
technical adaptations to Council directives as well as to European Parliament
and Council directives corresponding to negotiation chapters into separate
proposals for different Council directives. This structure is designed to
facilitate the transposition of the directives concerned by Member States into
their respective legal orders. The package of proposals for legal acts which
the Commission has transmitted to the Council is composed of this series of
proposals for Council directives on the one hand, as well as of a proposal for
a single Council regulation which covers the relevant European Parliament and
Council regulations and decisions as well as the relevant Council regulations
and decisions on the other hand. This is in line with the approach which was
taken in the past in view of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania[4].

It is foreseen that all the legal acts included
in this package will be published in the Official Journal of the European
Union at the same date.

The present proposal and the other proposals
included in this package will take into account technical adaptations to the acquis
which were published in the Official Journal of the European Union until 1
September 2012. The reasons for this are to provide sufficient time for the
legislative processes involved on the one hand, and for the fulfilment of the ensuing
transposition and notification obligations by Member States as regards
directives on the other hand. Adaptations which may be necessary to the acquis
published in the Official Journal of the European Union after 1 September 2012
will be foreseen in the relevant acts themselves or done at a later stage
through the appropriate procedure. In addition, the Commission intends to
informally provide a list of such legislation to Member States in early July
2013.

2.           RESULTS OF CONSULTATIONS WITH THE
INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS

As this proposal is of a purely technical
nature and does not involve any political choices, consultations with
interested parties or impact assessments would not have made sense.

3            LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL

The legal basis for the proposal is Article 50 of
the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Republic of Croatia.

The principles of subsidiarity and
proportionality are fully respected. The action of the Union is necessary under
the principle of subsidiarity (Article 5 (3) TEU) because it concerns technical
adaptations to legal acts which were enacted by the Union. The proposal
respects the principle of proportionality (Article 5 (4) TEU) because it does
not go beyond what is necessary to reach the objective pursued.

4.           BUDGETARY IMPLICATION

The proposal has no budgetary implications.
