on the draft Council Decision on a revision of the Statutes of the Economic and Financial
Committee

COMMISSION OPINION

(2003/C 130/04)

In accordance with Article 209 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, the Council shall, after
receiving an Opinion of the Commission, determine the rules governing the Committees. The Council
requested the Opinion of the Commission, in a letter dated 23 April 2003, on a revision of the Statutes of
the Economic and Financial Committee (EFC), which are currently set in the Council Decision of 31
December 1998 (1999/8/EC).

The proposed revision aims at accommodating the forthcoming enlargement of the European Union to 25
Member States. In order to continue working efficiently, the draft Council Decision proposes that the EFC
will work in two formations: a restricted one, where only members from national administrations, the
Commission and the ECB participate, and the full one where all members, including the members from
national central banks, will take part.

For that purpose, it is being proposed to introduce a new article and to modify two articles. Specifically:

— Article 4 of the proposal (new Article) establishes the 2 formations,

— Article 5 of the proposal (corresponding to Article 4 of the current Statutes) clarifies that national
central banks members cannot claim to attend all discussions on questions on which the Council may
subsequently take a decision,

— Article 10 of the proposal (corresponding to Article 9 of the current Statutes) has been modified to

increase the minimal number of members needed for calling a meeting, from two to four.

The Commission considers that
the Statutes is appropriate. This change
recognises that members from national administrations have particular responsibilities on matters where
the Council takes decisions. However, the expertise and analytical insight of the central bankers will still be
used when appropriate. The revision has no impact on the role of the Commission in the Committee.

the proposed revision of

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that:

— Article 2, second indent of the proposal should be amended to reflect the current Treaty numbering.
Accordingly, the reference to Article 151 should be replaced by a reference to Article 207 EC,

— Article 5 of the proposal could be made clearer by saying: ‘However, when advice or an opinion is
given on questions on which the Council may subsequently take a decision, members from national
central banks, when they are present, the ECB and the Commission may participate fully in the
discussion but shall not participate in a vote’.
