the Commission sent its proposal on the identification of lots on
£8 October 1987 ( CQM(37 ) 501 final ).
On a first reading and on the basis of the report from the Committee on the
Environment , Public Health and Consumer Protection ( rapporteur , Mrs Weber ),
the Parliament approved the proposal unanimously without discussion
( simplified procedure ) on 20 May 1988 .
Cn 21 December 1988 the Council adopted a common posi tion in which, it
stated tat it was in favour of the substitution of the legal form of a
directive in place of that of a regulation , which had initially been
proposed .
The common position was sent to the Parliament ( second reading ) , which
proposed two amendments at its April 1989 session . The first of these ,
which relates to a return to the legal form of a regulation , is acceptable
to the Commission . The second relates to a change which is simply of an
editorial nature , which dees not require any modification of the text .
