EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The second paragraph of Article 8(2 ) of Directive 76 / 768 / EEC provides that the
procedure involving the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress, shall
in the case of Annexes III to VII , apply until 31 December 1988 and that a
decision shall be taken by the Council not later than six months before that
date in order to allow the Committee to continue its work .
In this context , the Commission has endorsed the declaration on the powers of
implementation of the Commission adopted by the Conference of the
Representatives of the Governments of the Member States when they signed the
Single European Act , which reads as follows :
" The Conference asks the Community authorities to adopt , before the Act enters
  into force, the principles and rules on the basis of which the Commission 's
  powers of implementation will be defined in each case .
  In this connection the Conference requests the Council to give the Advisory
  Committee procedure in particular a predominant place in the interests of
  speed and efficiency in the decision-making process , for the exercise of the
  powers of implementation conferred on the Commission within the field rf
  Article 100a of the EEC Treaty ."
The Council adopted Decision 87 / 373 / EEC of 13 July 1987 in pursuance of the
above-mentioned declaration , and the attached amending directive is proposed
in accordance with that Decision .
This proposal relates to the internal market ( Article 100a ) and is therefore
covered by the declaration .
It is based on the principle that amendments should be made by means of a
flexible procedure .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
and in particular Article 100a thereof ,
                                                       (1 )

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee ^,
                                 (4)                                           (5)
Whereas Directive 76 / 768 / EEC     , as last amended by Directive 88 /   EEC
                                                                         / ЕЕС     ,
establishes, for the purposes of adapting technical requirements laid down by
the Directive to technical progress , a procedure for close cooperation between
the Member States and the Commission within a Committee on the adaptation to
technical progress of the Directives on the removal of technical barriers to
trade in the cosmetics products sector;
Whereas , in the case of Annexes III to VII , the procedure involving that
Committee applies until 31 December 1988 ;
Whereas experience has shown that there should be a procedure for rapidly
adapting technical requirements laid down by the Directive to technical
progress ; whereas powers should therefore be conferred on the Commission to
take action in the sector, with assistance from an advisory committee,
