EN 3   EN PRESENTATION  OF ACTIVITIES  BY POLICY  SECTORS 
1. INTRODUCTION  
This working document contains snapshots of the policy sectors and includes the figures for all the 
committees in a sector. All individual committees  under the responsibility  of each Commission 
department (whether active or not ) are listed, together with thei r relevant data. This approach 
provides for transparency of the policy sector activities. In addition, te xtual comments highlight 
important changes in the organisation and situations of disagreement in the work of the committees in the reporting year
1. 
The following explanations are intended to the r eader to better understand the statistical data: 
Opinions  delivered by the committees may be of various  kinds: they may concern draft Commission 
acts (directives, regulations), decisions designed to  regulate a specific legal situation or to approve 
financial projects in the contex t of any of the many Community programmes, or just position 
statements (which explains why the total number of favourable opinions may be greater than the 
total number of legal acts adopted in a specific sector). Consequently, the implementing measures  
adopted by the Commission follow these categories. 
In the event of a favourable opinion , the rule is that the Comm ission adopts the implementing 
measure; under the management procedure  it may also adopt an im plementing measure in the 
absence  of an opinion (shown in the row ‘no opini on’, although a formal vo ting has taken place2). 
Only if there is an unfavourable opinion  is the decision referred to the Council as “an appeal body”, 
which then has the power to decide ( referrals to the Council). Under the regulatory procedure , a 
proposal is submitted to the Council also if there is ‘no opinion’.  
A further source of difference between the total number of favourable opinions  delivered by 
committees and the number of implementing measures  adopted by the Commission in a given 
sector occurs when opinions were delivered in 20 06 but the instruments adopt ed only the following 
year (2007). 
In certain cases committees are required to de liver opinions on dossiers which will not be the 
subject of a draft implementing measure until some time later. Hence there may be considerable 
discrepancies between the total number of opinions  and the number of implementing measures  
adopted by the Commission. 
A number of committees had no activity at all in the reporting year. This is indicated by the figure 
“0” in all rows. It is however po ssible that a committee did not meet at all in the reporting year, but 
delivered formal opinions. These opinions have been voted by written procedure, according to the Rules of procedure of the committee. 
                                                
 
1 Comments are made sector by sector, but only if relevant; they regard newly created (or transferred) and 
abolished committees and pr ocedures, as well as votes which result in disagreement with the Commission’s 
draft measure, leading to unfavourable or “no opinions”. 
2 This situation occurs if neither the necessary quorum for a favourable , nor for an unfavourable opinion  has 
been reached as a result of the vote. 
 
EN 4   EN 2. NUMBER OF COMMITTEES BY PROCEDURE AND NUMBER OF MEETINGS  
The comitology committees can be classified accord ing to the type of pro cedure under which they 
operate (advisory procedure, management procedur e, regulatory procedur e, regulatory procedure 
with scrutiny and safeguard proc edure - see Table III). Since cer tain committees apply multiple 
procedures (ranging from the advisory procedure to the regulatory procedure, plus the safeguard 
procedure), they have been singled out from  committees operating under a single procedure.

The figures indicate that about 76% of the committees (100 out of  264) work exclusively under the 
regulatory procedure, followed by a smaller numb er of committees working exclusively under the 
management procedure (65). The breakdown by policy sector shows that use of the three types of 
procedures varies from policy sector to policy s ector. However, in some of the policy sectors, a 
clear dominance of one of the procedures can be noted: the Transport and Energy, Environment and 
Enterprise and Industry  sectors, for instance, work with a large number of committees under the 
regulatory procedure, whereas Agriculture  works with a large number of committees under the 
management procedure. In line with the above-m entioned policy of limiting the increase in the 
overall number of committees as far as possible,  the Commission applies the practice of using 
existing committees for new comitology procedures.  
TABLE  IV – NUMBER OF MEETINGS  
The number of committees is not the only indi cator of activity at comitology level. The number of 
meetings  held in 2007 reflects the intensity of work in general, at sector le vel and in individual 
committees (Table IV ).

As in 2006, Agriculture  leads the field with 256 meetings, si nce managing the different agricultural 
markets requires frequent meetings. Agriculture  is followed by Health and Consumer Protection  
with 167 meetings and Taxation and Customs Union  with 91 meetings.
