PRESENTATION OF ACTIVITIES BY POLICY SECTORS 

1. INTRODUCTION 

This working document contains snapshots of the policy sectors and includes the figures for all the 
committees  in  a  sector.  All  individual  committees  under  the  responsibility  of  each  Commission 
department  (whether  active  or  not)  are  listed,  together  with  their  relevant  data.  This  approach 
provides  for  transparency  of  the  policy  sector  activities.  In  addition,  textual  comments  highlight 
important changes in the organisation and situations of disagreement in the work of the committees 
in the reporting year1. 

The  following  explanations  are  intended  to  the  reader  to  better  understand  the  statistical  data: 
Opinions delivered by the committees may be of various kinds: they may concern draft Commission 
acts (directives, regulations), decisions designed to regulate a specific legal situation or to approve 
financial  projects  in  the  context  of  any  of  the  many  Community  programmes,  or  just  position 
statements  (which  explains  why  the  total  number  of  favourable  opinions  may  be  greater  than  the 
total number of legal acts adopted in a specific sector). Consequently, the implementing measures 
adopted by the Commission follow these categories. 

In  the  event  of  a  favourable  opinion,  the  rule  is  that  the  Commission  adopts  the  implementing 
measure;  under  the  management  procedure  it  may  also  adopt  an  implementing  measure  in  the 
absence of an opinion (shown in the row ‘no opinion’, although a formal voting has taken place2). 
Only if there is an unfavourable opinion is the decision referred to the Council as “an appeal body”, 
which then has the power to decide (referrals to the Council). Under the regulatory procedure, a 
proposal is submitted to the Council also if there is ‘no opinion’.  

A  further  source  of  difference  between  the  total  number  of  favourable  opinions  delivered  by 
committees  and  the  number  of  implementing  measures  adopted  by  the  Commission  in  a  given 
sector occurs when opinions were delivered in 2006 but the instruments adopted only the following 
year (2007). 

In  certain  cases  committees  are  required  to  deliver  opinions  on  dossiers  which  will  not  be  the 
subject  of  a  draft  implementing  measure  until  some  time  later.  Hence  there  may  be  considerable 
discrepancies  between  the  total  number  of  opinions  and  the  number  of  implementing  measures 
adopted by the Commission. 

A number of committees had no activity at all in the reporting year. This is indicated by the figure 
“0” in all rows. It is however possible that a committee did not meet at all in the reporting year, but 
delivered formal opinions. These opinions have been voted by written procedure, according to the 
Rules of procedure of the committee.

Comments  are  made  sector  by  sector,  but  only  if  relevant;  they  regard  newly  created  (or  transferred)  and 
abolished  committees  and  procedures,  as  well  as  votes  which  result  in  disagreement  with  the  Commission’s 
draft measure, leading to unfavourable or “no opinions”. 
This  situation  occurs  if  neither  the  necessary  quorum  for  a  favourable,  nor  for  an  unfavourable  opinion  has 
been reached as a result of the vote.

2. NUMBER OF COMMITTEES BY PROCEDURE AND NUMBER OF MEETINGS 

The comitology committees can be classified according to the type of procedure under which they 
operate  (advisory  procedure,  management  procedure,  regulatory  procedure,  regulatory  procedure 
with  scrutiny  and  safeguard  procedure  -  see  Table  III).  Since  certain  committees  apply  multiple 
procedures  (ranging  from  the  advisory  procedure  to  the  regulatory  procedure,  plus  the  safeguard 
procedure), they have been singled out from committees operating under a single procedure.

The figures indicate that about 76% of the committees (100 out of 264) work exclusively under the 
regulatory procedure, followed by a smaller number of committees working exclusively under the 
management procedure (65). The breakdown by policy sector shows that use of the three types of 
procedures  varies  from  policy  sector  to  policy  sector.  However,  in  some  of  the  policy  sectors,  a 
clear dominance of one of the procedures can be noted: the Transport and Energy, Environment and 
Enterprise  and  Industry  sectors,  for  instance,  work  with  a  large  number  of  committees  under  the 
regulatory  procedure,  whereas  Agriculture  works  with  a  large  number  of  committees  under  the 
management  procedure.  In  line  with  the  above-mentioned  policy  of  limiting  the  increase  in  the 
overall  number  of  committees  as  far  as  possible,  the  Commission  applies  the  practice  of  using 
existing committees for new comitology procedures.  

TABLE IV – NUMBER OF MEETINGS 

The number of committees is not the only indicator of activity at comitology level. The number of 
meetings  held  in  2007  reflects  the  intensity  of  work  in  general,  at  sector  level  and  in  individual 
committees (Table IV).

As in 2006, Agriculture leads the field with 256 meetings, since managing the different agricultural 
markets  requires  frequent  meetings.  Agriculture  is  followed  by  Health  and  Consumer  Protection 
with 167 meetings and Taxation and Customs Union with 91 meetings.

basic information on Purchasing Power Parities and for their calculation and dissemination. – (OJ L 336, 20.12.2007, p. 1-24) 

The Regulatory procedure with scrutiny has been also attributed to the SPC in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 of the European Parliament 
and of the Council of 20 December 2006 (OJ L 393, 30.12.2006, p. 1).
