European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training 
COM(90) 535 final 
(Submitted by the Commission on 17 December 1990) 
(91/C 23/02) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 2. Article 10 becomes Article 9; 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors, 
Whereas the Treaty of 22 July 1975, amending certain 
financial provisions of the Treaties establishing the 
European Communities and of the Treaty establishing a 
single Council and a single Commission of the European 
Communities, modified the procedure for giving a 
discharge to the Commission in respect of the 
implementation of the budget, and therefore it is 
appropriate to update the procedure for giving a discharge 
to the Management Board of the Centre by reference to the 
procedure so modified, as set out in Article 206b of the 
EEC Treaty; 
Whereas the Treaty of 22 July 1975 substituted the Court 
of Auditors for the Audit Board in all the texts referring to 
the Audit Board; 
Whereas it is desirable to provide for the transmission of 
the annual general report on the Centre to all interested 
Community bodies; 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/75 (*) should 
be amended accordingly; 
Whereas the Treaty does not provide the necessary specific 
powers,
