    The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by the report drafted by Åsa WESTLUND (PES, SE), and made some amendments to the proposal for a directive amending Directive 98/8/EC concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market, as regards the implementing powers conferred to the Commission.Parliament stated that the regulatory procedure with scrutiny will apply to common conditions for the application of Article 17(5), in particular the maximum quantities of active substances or biocidal products that may be released during experiments and the minimum data to be submitted in order to permit an assessment. The regulatory procedure with scrutiny will also apply to amendments necessary to adapt Annex IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB, IVA or IVB or the descriptions of product types in Annex V to technical progress or to specify data requirements for each of these product types.The comitology committee is named the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products.

    PURPOSE: to amend Directive 98/8/EC concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market by introducing a reference to the new regulatory procedure with scrutiny (comitology).PROPOSED ACT: Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council. CONTENT: Council Decision 1999/468/EC laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission has been amended by Council Decision 2006/512/EC (CNS/2002/0298).The amended Decision introduces a new regulatory procedure with scrutiny to be used for measures of general scope which seek to amend non-essential elements of a basic instrument, adopted under co-decision, including by deleting some of those elements or by supplementing the instrument by the addition of new non-essential elements. This procedure allows the legislator to oppose the adoption of "quasi-legislative" measures implementing a codecision-based instrument when it considers that the draft exceeds the implementing powers provided for in the basic instrument, or that the draft is incompatible with the aim or the content of that instrument or fails to respect the principles of subsidiarity or proportionality.In a joint statement, the three institutions agreed on a list of 26 basic instruments already in force to be adjusted without delay in accordance with the new regulatory procedure with scrutiny (see ACI/2006/2152). Each case has been assessed on its own merits, notably in view of the nature of the implementing powers conferred on the Commission and the specificity of each sector.Lastly, in accordance with the abovementioned statement, the Commission is proposing to repeal any provisions of these instruments that provide for a time-limit on the delegation of implementing powers to the Commission.
