 COM(82 ) 473 final
 ---pagebreak--- On 28 September 1981 the Commission forwarded to the Council a proposal
for a Council Decision adopting a concerted action project of the
European Economic Community on the effect of processing on the physical
properties of foodstuffs ( COST Project 90bis ).
By letter of 5 October 1981 the President of the Council asked the
European Parliament for an opinion on this proposal .
On 23 April 1982 the European Parliament adopted a resolution in which
this proposal is approved provided that some amendments are incorporated
into this proposal .
In pursuance of Article 149 ( 2 ) of the EEC Treaty , the Commission
modifies its proposal to take into account the amendments requested by
the Parliament and forwards them , annexed hereto , to the Council .
