Council Directive 79 / 695 / EEC of 24 July 1979 C1 ) laid down provisions for
the harmohization of procedures for the release of goods for free
circulation .
Article 26(2 ) of that Directive laid down the number of votes which must
be recorded in the Committee on General Customs Rules in order that it may
be deemed to have gived .a favourable opinion on draft implementation
provisions submitted to it by the Commission .
However , the accession of the Hellenic Republic to the European Communities
on 1 January 1981 has made it necessary to adjust the number of votes .
having regard to the weighting provided for in the Act of Accession .
Such is the aim of this proposal for a Directive . It is founded on the Act
concerning the conditions of accession of the Hellenic Republic and the
adjustments to the Treaties ( 2 ) and in particular Article 146 thereof .
Since the Council must adopt this proposal before 1 January 1981 and
bearing in mind the purely technical modifications it contains , it is
not appropriate to seek the opinions of the European Parliament and the
Economic and Social Committee .
