Since the UNCTAD Code provides for the attribution of freight on the basis of national shares, Community law had to be adapted in order to guarantee its compatibility with the Treaty competition rules.

Given Parliament's clear stance on bringing maritime transport under the common competition enforcement rules - under the condition that the Commission publishes appropriate guidelines to this regard, which is due to happen this year - it would appear to be consistent in your Rapporteur's view, if Parliament also gave a positive reaction to the current Commission proposal of repealing Regulation (EEC) No 954/79.

– като взе предвид Договора за ЕО, и по-специално членове 211, 230 и 249 от него,
– having regard to the EC Treaty, and in particular Articles 211, 230 and 249 thereof,
– като взе предвид доклада на комисията по правни въпроси и становищата на комисията по конституционни въпроси, комисията по вътрешния пазар и защита на потребителите и комисията по култура и образование ( A6‑0259/2007 ),
– having regard to the report of the Committee on Legal Affairs and the opinions of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection and the Committee on Culture and Education ( A6‑0259/2007 ),
A. като има предвид, че понятието актове с незадължителна юридическа сила, основано на общата практика, е нееднозначно и вредно, и не следва да бъде използвано в документи на общностните институции,
A. whereas the notion of soft law, based on common practice, is ambiguous and pernicious and should not be used in any documents of the Community institutions,
Б. като има предвид, че разграничението между dura lex/mollis lex, което е различно като концепция, не бива да се приема или признава,
B. whereas the distinction between dura lex / mollis lex , being conceptually aberrant , should not be accepted or recognised,
В. като има предвид, че така наречените актове с незадължителна юридическа сила като препоръките, зелените и белите книги или заключенията на Съвета, нямат правна стойност или задължителна юридическа сила,
C. whereas so-called soft law instruments, such as recommendations, green and white papers or Council conclusions, do not have any legal value or binding force,
Г. като има предвид, че актовете с незадължителна юридическа сила не предоставят пълна съдебна защита,
D. whereas 'soft law' does not provide full judicial protection,
Д. като има предвид, че прекомерното прибягване до актове с незадължителна юридическа сила би означавало преминаване от уникалния общностен модел към модела на традиционна международна организация,
E. whereas extensive recourse to 'soft law' instruments would signify a shift from the unique Community model to that of a traditional international organisation,
Е. като има предвид, че понастоящем тече дискусия за това как да се повиши ефективността на регулаторната функция на Европейския съюз по отношение както на незадължителните, така и на задължителните правни актове,
F. whereas there is currently a dispute as to how to make the regulatory function of the European Union more efficient with regard to both 'soft law' and 'hard law',
Ж. като има предвид, че по делото Van Gend en Loos Съдът на Европейските общности се е произнесъл, че Договорът "е повече от едно споразумение, пораждащо единствено взаимни задължения за държавите, които са страни по него. ...
G. whereas in Van Gend en Loos the Court of Justice of the European Communities held that the Treaty "is more than an agreement which merely creates mutual obligations between the Contracting States. ...
Общността съставлява нов правов ред на международното право, в полза на който държавите са ограничили суверенните си права, макар и в ограничени сфери, и чийто субекти са не само държавите-членки, но също така и техните граждани.
[T]he Community constitutes a new legal order of international law for the benefit of which the States have limited their sovereign rights, albeit within limited fields, and the subjects of which comprise not only Member States but also their nationals. ...
Правото на Общността както налага задължения на лицата, така и е предназначено да поражда права, които стават част от техния правен патримониум.
Community law therefore not only imposes obligations on individuals but is also intended to confer upon them rights which become part of their legal heritage.
