Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee on the Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 80/181/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to units of measurement COM(2007) 510 final — 2007/0187 (COD)

Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee on the ‘Proposal for a Directive of
the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 80/181/EEC on the
approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to units of measurement’

COM(2007) 510 final — 2007/0187 (COD)

(2008/C 120/02)

On 26 September 2007 the Council decided to consult the European Economic and Social Committee,
under Article 95 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the

Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 80/181/EEC on
the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to units of measurement.

The Section for the Single Market, Production and Consumption, which was responsible for preparing the
Committee's work on the subject, adopted its opinion on 21 November 2007. The rapporteur was
Mr Cassidy.

At its 440th plenary session, held on 12 and 13 December 2007 (meeting of 12 December), the European
Economic and Social Committee adopted the following opinion by 114 votes, with two abstentions.

1. Conclusions and recommendations

The EESC approves the present proposal without reserva-

1.1
tion.

The Directive mentions end 2009 as the deadline for
1.2
using ‘supplementary indications’
i.e. non-metric indications.
Maintaining this deadline would be a cost for all EU enterprises
involved in trans-Atlantic trade.

1.3
The Directive also requires the UK and Ireland to fix a
deadline concerning the exemptions to use the pint, mile and
troy ounces.

The Commission's proposal is to get rid of these dead-

1.4
lines not replacing them with new ones.

Brussels, 12 December 2007.

The Directive defines as the legal units of measurement
1.5
in the EU the metric units or SI units meaning Système Interna-
tional, which is the worldwide system adopted by the Conférence
générale des poids et mesures
in 1960. Though the
European Union itself is not a signatory, all Member States are.
The regular updating of SI units for technical progress leads to
the Commission proposing to adopt as the ‘katal’ symbol as the
SI unit for catalytic activity.

(CGPM)

1.6
The EESC welcomes this Commission proposal as part of
the drive to simplify and improve legislation and welcomes the
Commission's sensitivity in acknowledging the importance of
‘subsidiarity’ for Ireland and the UK.
