The proposed directive updates and simplifies the existing rules for the transport of dangerous goods by integrating the rules into a single harmonised directive. The scope of the directive is also extended to include inland waterways for the first time, thereby providing a single set of rules for all land transport of dangerous goods in Europe.

Date of the position of the European Parliament, first reading: || 22 November 2012

Date of adoption of the position of the Council: || 15 November 2013

2. OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSAL FROM THE COMMISSION

The Proposal reflects the changes in the legal framework of the Union and the institutional balance brought about by the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty.

This proposal accompanies a first proposal the Commission has made on trade policy, referred to as "Trade Omnibus I" (2011/0039 (COD)" and examines all remaining decision-making procedures found in trade policy legislation in order to adapt them, where appropriate, to the regime for delegated acts set down in Article 290.

In aligning the procedures on the standard procedures, the proposal will also permit a more ready understanding of the procedures applicable in trade policy and the transparency provisions of the horizontal regulation will increase the overall transparency of the conduct of trade policy.

The Council first reading position is in line with the outcome of the last trilogue between the EP and the Council held on 5 June 2013 and confirmed subsequently by the two institutions at COREPER and INTA level in July 2013.
