On 25 March 2004 the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),

Decision No 508/2000/EC of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 14 February 2000 establishing the
Culture 2000 programme (3) set up a single financing
and programming instrument for cultural cooperation
for a period running from 1 January 2000 to 31
December 2004.

It is important to ensure the continuity of Community
cultural action in implementation of the Community's
responsibilities under Article 151 of the Treaty.

The Culture 2000 programme should therefore be
extended for two years until 31 December 2006.

The revision of the financial perspective with a view to
enlargement provides
an increased ceiling on
heading 3 which has to be respected by the legislative
authority when extending existing programmes.

(COM(2004) 35 final – 2004/0004 (CNS))

(2004/C 112/10)

On 10 March 2004 the Council decided to consult the European Economic and Social Committee, under
Article 100 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above-mentioned proposal

The Section for Transport, Energy, Infrastructure and the Information Society, which was responsible for
preparing the Committee's work on the subject, adopted its opinion on 2 March 2004. The rapporteur was
Mr Wilkinson.

At its 407th plenary session, held on 31 March and 1 April 2004, (meeting of 31 March 2004), the Euro-
pean Economic and Social Committee adopted the following opinion by 98 votes to 1 with 2 abstentions.

1.
Because the clarity and transparency of Community law are important, the Council, the European
Parliament and the Commission have stressed the need to codify frequently amended legislative texts under
an agreed and rapid procedure. In this process no changes of substance may be made (1).

2.
The Committee approves and encourages the work to simplify the acquis communautaire, and espe-
cially the procedures for consolidating and codifying existing legislation. This work contributes to good
democratic governance by making it easier to understand the acquis communautaire and apply it properly.
