Pursuant to Article 56 of the Act of Accession, where
acts of the institutions remain valid beyond 1 January
2007, and require adaptation by reason of accession,
and the necessary adaptations have not been provided
for in the Act of Accession or its Annexes, the necessary
acts are to be adopted by the Council, unless the
Commission adopted the original act.

The Final Act of the Conference which drew up the
Treaty of Accession indicated that the High Contracting
Parties had reached political agreement on a set of adap-
tations to acts adopted by the institutions required by
reason of accession and invited the Council and the
Commission to adopt these adaptations before accession,
completed and updated where necessary to take account
of the evolution of the law of the Union.

the approximation of the laws of the Member States
relating to quick-frozen foodstuffs for human consump-
tion (2) and Directive 2000/13/EC of
the European
Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the
approximation of the laws of the Member States relating
to the labelling, presentation and advertising of food-
stuffs (3) should therefore be amended accordingly,

set out in the Annex.

and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this
Directive by the date of accession of Bulgaria and Romania to

correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.

When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain
a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such
reference on the occasion of their official publication. The
methods of making such reference shall be laid down by
Member States.

2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the
text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in
the field covered by this Directive.
