    The common position of the Council closely follows the modified proposal. It also incorporates Parliament's sole amendment and endorses the Commission's interpretation that the aim is to emphasize the priority to be given to Edicom activities - which go back to 1993 - and to ensure that they are coordinated with other activities relating to the trans-European networks. In order to ensure that the activities undertaken could be continued rapidly the Council departed from the Commission's modified proposal as regards the following provisions, which formed part of the policy agreement reached by it when adopting Decision 94/445/EC: - the duration of the Decision is set at three years so that the expiry date will still be 1999 as in the annulled Decision; - inclusion of a financial reference amount in accordance with the declaration of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 6 March 1995; - to ensure consistency with the three-year duration, there is simply provision for the Commission to submit a report on the Decision's implementation when the Decision actually expires. �

• 1996/07/19 Committee referral announced in Parliament, 1st reading/single reading
• 1996/07/08 Legislative proposal published
  • COM(1996)0319 summary

    This proposal is designed to replace Council Decision 96/445/EC on telematic networks for statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States (EDICOM), annulled by the Court of Justice on 26 March 1996 on the grounds that it had an inappropriate legal basis, following the appeal lodged by Parliament. The Commission is now submitting as a 'new' proposal the original text of the proposal adopted before the entry into force of the TEU, but adopting as legal basis Article 129d(3) of the Treaty (in place of Article 100a) to enable the programme to continue. The text proposed by the Commission continues to refer to the establishment of the internal market, whilst the chosen legal basis concerns the establishment of the trans-European networks. Moreover, this proposal is identical in content to Council Decision 94/445/EC (EDICOM) and takes no account either of the discussions within the Council and the EP, or of relevant developments following the entry into force of the TEU, or of the adoption of the initial telecommunications guidelines for the ISDN and the TELECOM-TEN. For the record, the purpose of this measure is to support the application of the INTRASTAT Regulation as regards the collection, processing and dissemination of statistics on the trading of goods between Member States by means of increased use of telematic networks and by promoting the exchange of data between businesses and national and Community administrations. On the basis of this Europe-wide multiannual measure (1996-2000), it is possible to increase the level of harmonization of data and procedures by using standardized electronic forms and to reduce�
