Directive 2002/2/EC: Commission’s statement on recital 10(a) for the record of the Conciliation
Committee

(2002/C 27/02)

The Commission declares that it can not guarantee that it will be possible to respond to the request laid
down in recital 10(a), which also effects its right of initiative.

The Commission insists that establishing a positive list is a complex issue in which Member States and
stakeholders are involved. For this reason the Commission launched a feasibility study on the establishment
of a positive list of feed materials. The Commission will send a report on the outcome of this study to the
Council and the European Parliament before 31 December 2002. Taking the outcome of this study into
account, the Commission intends to make the appropriate proposals in due course.
