In the interests of an improvement in the clarity of Community law ,
the Commission addressed to the Council on 2Cth GeptemLer , 1973 , a
proposal for a regulation establishing a procedure of consolidation
( COM (j\J 1521 final , OJ 1973 , Ko . C 99/7 ).
During its session of 23th April , 1974 ? the European Parliament delivered
its opinion on this proposal for a regulation (Doc . 46/74 ). The Commission
has carefully examined this opinion and has decided , in accordance with
Article 149 second paragraph E^C Treaty , to incorporate the
alterations suggested "by the Parliament , in its proposal for a regu­
lation . These concern                                       .
                - Article 1
                - Article 3      .
                - Article 4-
                - Article 5
The suggested alteration to Article 1 provides , in addition to the
participation of the Council , for that of the European Parliament .
Accordingly , the Parliament is to participate in the designation of the
lugal instruments which are to he consolidated.' Oh the other hand ,
according +0 Article 3 the Commission alone is to determine the texts ,
which will only have a declaratory effect , to "be consolidated without
either the Council or the Parliament 'being ■ further involved . Tho alte­
ration of the . wording of Article 4 merely serves as a. clarification.
