ANNEX TO THE LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION

European Parliament statement

European Parliament attaches great importance to being kept fully informed during the preparation of delegated acts and, in particular, to paragraph 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making, which provides that, in order to ensure equal access to all information, the European Parliament and Council shall receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts.

Commission statement

The Commission fully adheres to the principles of Better Regulation and to the commitments laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making. It will therefore endeavour to put forward a legislative proposal to the Council and to the European Parliament at the earliest opportunity, with a view to aligning Council Regulation (EC) No 32/2000 to the legal framework introduced by the Lisbon Treaty.
