INTRODUCTION 

This working document contains snapshots of the activities of the committees in each policy sectors 
and includes the  relevant data for  all the committees  in a sector for the year 2008. All individual 
committees  under  the  responsibility  of  each  Commission  department  are  listed  (whether  they  are 
active or not). This approach provides for transparency in the policy sector activities. In addition, 
the  textual  comments  below  each  table  highlight  important  changes  in  the  organisation  of  the 
committees (e.g. creation, transfer or abolition of committees and procedures etc.) as well as cases 
referred  to  the  Council  (in  the  event  of  an  unfavourable  opinion  or  absence  of  opinion  of  the 
committee)  and  cases,  subject  to  the  regulatory  procedure  with  scrutiny,  in  which  the  European 
Parliament or the Council have opposed the adoption of a measure, during the year in question. 

Explanatory remarks: 

The following explanations are intended to help the reader to better understand the statistical data, 
and in particular, why the total number of favourable opinions may differ from the total number of 
measures adopted in a specific sector:  

Opinions delivered  by  the committees may  concern various  types  of  measures:  they  may  concern 
draft  Commission  acts  (directives,  regulations),  decisions  designed  to  regulate  a  specific  legal 
situation or decisions to approve financial projects in the context of one of the many Community 
programmes. 

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  ‘no  opinion’  column,  although  a  formal  voting  has  taken 
place1) and under the advisory procedure, it may also adopt an implementing measure in the event 
of  a  negative  opinion  of  the  committee.  Only  if  there  is  an  unfavourable  opinion  or  no  opinion 
under the regulatory procedure and the regulatory procedure with scrutiny is a proposal relating to 
the measure submitted to the Council, which then has the power to decide (referrals to the Council). 
In addition, under the regulatory procedure with scrutiny, the European Parliament or the Council 
can oppose the adoption of a draft measure, even where there is a positive opinion of the committee.  

Furthermore,  the  total  number  of  favourable  opinions  delivered  by  committees  can  be  different 
from  the  number  of  implementing  measures  adopted  by  the  Commission  in  a  given  sector  when 
opinions are delivered one year but the instruments are not adopted until the following year. 

In certain cases committees are required to deliver opinions on matters which will not be the subject 
of a draft implementing measure until some time later.  

Therefore, in light of the above, 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 columns. It is, however, possible that a committee did not meet at all in the reporting year, 

1 

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.

but  delivered  formal  opinions  on  which  it  voted  by  written  procedure,  according  to  the  rules  of 
procedure of the committee.

New procedures attributed to existing committee(s): 

–  C16200 – Accounting Regulatory Committee 

The regulatory procedure was replaced by the regulatory procedure with scrutiny: Regulation (EC) No 297/2008 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council  of  11  March  2008  amending  Regulation  (EC)  No  1606/2002  on  the  application  of  international  accounting  standards,  as  regards  the 
implementing powers conferred on the Commission 

–  C26900 – Committee on the recognition of professional qualifications  

The regulatory procedure with scrutiny: Regulation (EC) No 1137/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008 adapting a 
number of instruments subject to the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty to Council Decision 1999/468/EC, with regard to the regulatory 
procedure with scrutiny — Adaptation to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny — Part One 

Decisions by the EP / Council opposing draft measures under RPS: 

–  C16400 – European Banking Committee  

The European Parliament (Resolution of 16 December 2008) opposed the adoption of the draft measure, on the grounds that it exceeded the implementing 
powers  provided  for  in  the  basic  instrument  by  including  a  provision  that  went  beyond  a  technical  adjustment  and  should  therefore  be  dealt  with  in 
accordance with the codecision procedure.  As a  consequence,  the Commission  did  not  adopt  the  draft  measure  and  submitted  an  amended version to the 
Committee in February 2009. 

Draft measures concerned:

Draft  Commission  Directive  amending  certain  annexes  to  Directive  2006/48/EC  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  as  regards  technical 
provisions concerning risk management.

Draft measure concerned: the draft Commission decisions establishing an Annual Action Programme for Brazil (CMTD(2008)0263 - D000422/01) 
Related basic legal act: Regulation (EC) 1905/2006 
Date of vote: 10/06/2008 
Procedure: Management 

Draft measure concerned: the draft Commission decisions establishing  an Annual Action Programme for Argentina (CMTD(2008)0263 - D000421/01) 
Related basic legal act: Regulation (EC) 1905/2006 
Date of vote: 10/06/2008 
Procedure: Management 

The European Parliament "Takes the view that the Commission, therewith, exceeds, in the AAP for Brazil for 2008 and in the AAP for Argentina for 2008, 
its implementing powers laid down in the basic act, given that the above-mentioned elements are not in compliance with Article 2(1) and (4) of Regulation 
(EC) No 1905/2006, as the primary objective of these elements is not the eradication of poverty, and as these elements do not fulfil the criteria for ODA 
established by the OECD/DAC". 

Follow-up: Commissioner Ferrero Waldner wrote to the Chairman of the Development Committee (Letter of 21 July 2008) expressing the opinion of the 
Commission that the EU components of the Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window are in compliance with the DCI regulation. The measure was 
adopted by the Commission on 13 August 2008.
