Details

The Lisbon Treaty, which entered into force on 1 December 2009, amended the EU's two core treaties, the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and the Treaty establishing the European Community (EC Treaty). The latter was renamed the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).

These changes had various consequences for many ongoing procedures. First of all, the articles of the TEU and of the old EC Treaty that constitute the legal basis of all the proposals founded on those Treaties were renumbered in accordance with the table of equivalences mentioned in Article 5 of the Lisbon Treaty.

In addition, some proposals underwent a change to their legal basis going beyond a mere change to their numbering, and this resulted in changes to the type of procedure .

The Lisbon Treaty also introduced new concepts of decision-making procedure . The old "codecision procedure" was extended to new areas and renamed the "ordinary legislative procedure". A new "consent procedure" replaced the old "assent procedure". New interinstitutional procedures were also set up for the adoption of certain non-legislative acts, for example the conclusion of some international agreements.

The ongoing proposals concerned by these changes were formally modified by the Commission in a Communication published on 2 December 2009 (COM(2009)0665).

In the case of the proposal for a Council Decision on the conclusion of the Arrangement between the European Community and the Republic of Iceland, the Principality of Liechtenstein, the Kingdom of Norway and the Swiss Confederation on the participation by those States in the work of the committees which assist the European Commission in the exercise of its executive powers as regards the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis, the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty had the following impacts :

· the old legal basis - Treaty/EC/Art. 62, Art 63(3), Art 66, Art 202, Art.300(2) first para and (3) first para.- became Art. 77, Art. 79, Art. 74, Art. 218(6)(a). Please note that the numbering of the old legal basis corresponds to the consolidated version of the Treaty that was applicable immediately before the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, and may differ from the references in the original Commission proposal ;

· the proposal, which had previously fallen under the old consultation procedure (CNS), was classified as an interinstitutional non-legislative procedure (NLE).

Details

On 30 October 2009, the European Commission presented a proposal for a Council Decision on the conclusion of the Arrangement between the European Community and of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland on the participation by those States in the work of the committees which assist the European Commission in the exercise of its executive powers as regards the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis – for the content of the Arrangement, see summary of the original proposal.

On the same day, the Commission presented a proposal for a decision on the signature , on behalf of the European Community of this same agreement. Its content is identical to that of this present proposal.

With the present proposal, the Commission proposes that the Council authorises the signature , on behalf of the European Community, of the agreement between the European Community and the associated States to the Schengen acquis.

PURPOSE: to conclude the Arrangement between the European Community and Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and the Swiss Confederation on the participation by those States in the work of the committees which assist the European Commission in the exercise of its executive powers as regards the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis

PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.

BACKGROUND: on 17 May 1999, the Council of the European Union and Norway concluded an Agreement concerning those states' association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis. On 26 October 2004, the European Union, the European Community and Switzerland signed the Agreement concerning the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis. On 1 March 2008 the Agreement entered into force. Lastly, on 21 June 2006, a Protocol between the Council of the European Union, the European Community, Switzerland and Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation's association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis was initialled. The Protocol was signed on 28 February 2008.

The Association Agreements set up a Mixed Committee consisting of representatives of the governments of the Associated States as well as of the Council of the European Union and the Commission of the European Communities. Consequently, the representatives of the Associated States attend Mixed Committees which meet in form of Council working groups enlarged by the representatives of the Associated States.

The participation in the Mixed Committee gives the Associated States the opportunity, in good time, to voice any concerns regarding developments of the Schengen acquis , which must be adopted by all the Associated States, and the implementation of this acquis. After discussion in the Mixed Committee, the measures taken to develop the Schengen acquis are adopted by the Council and by the European Parliament through the appropriate decision-taking procedure laid down in the Treaties. Thus, the Associated States participate in decision-shaping but not in decision-taking . This sui generis association with the Schengen acquis lead the Council to conclude agreements in the form of an exchange of letters concerning the Committees which assist the Commission in the exercise of its executive powers as regards the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis.

It is therefore necessary to formalise the association of these countries with the work of the Schengen Comitology according a more appropriate procedure.

IMPACT ASSESSMENT: not applicable.

CONTENT: until the Arrangement covered by this document is concluded , the Associated States participate in the work of the Schengen Comitology committees as observers through the above mentioned ad hoc exchange of letters.

This proposed Decision provides for the conclusion of a single Arrangement concerning the participation by the Associated States in the work of the Schengen Comitology committees to ensure consistency between and equal treatment of all Associated States.

For efficiency, and to avoid the need to conduct separate negotiations, Liechtenstein has been associated with the negotiations on its participation in the Schengen Comitology committees before conclusion of the Association Protocol is completed. The Arrangement on the participation in the work of the Schengen Comitology committees will not apply to Liechtenstein until the date when the Association Protocol has entered into force.

The negotiations were finalised on 30 June 2009 and the draft Arrangement was initialled. The main characteristics can be summarised as follows:

Scope and purpose : the Arragement provides that:

the Associated States will be associated as observers with the work of the current and future Comitology committees assisting the Commission in Schengen matters. The list of the Schengen Comitology committees will be regularly updated by the Commission and will be published in the Official Journal; a series of clear rights and obligations shall be established to ensure effective participation by the Associated States in the Schengen Comitology committees; the representatives of the Associated States shall receive all relevant meeting documents when the meeting of the committee is convened, they may comment on a proposed measure constituting a development of the Schengen acquis or voice any problems encountered in applying these measures; the representatives from these States will not take part in the voting of these committees and shall withdraw when the Committee moves to a vote; the Commission will communicate to the Associated States the acts and measures constituting a development of the Schengen acquis ; the Associated States will decide independently regarding the implementation of all measures adopted by the Schengen Comitology committee procedures concerning the application and development of the Schengen acquis confirming the rules set out in the basic Association Agreements; a financial contribution shall be made from the Associated States to the administrative expenses resulting from their participation in the Schengen Comitology committees. The Associated States shall make an annual contribution to the general budget of the European Communities in accordance with the percentage of the gross domestic product of their countries in relation to the gross domestic product of all participating States of an amount of EUR 500 000, subject to an annual adjustment to reflect the rate of inflation in the European Union. The travelling costs of the representatives who participate in the meetings of the Schengen Comitology committees shall not be reimbursed.

It should be noted that the special situations of Denmark, the United Kingdom and Ireland are reflected in the preamble.

Declaration : lastly, the Arrangement includes a Joint declaration which underlines that this specific association shall not be regarded as a legal or political precedent for any other field of cooperation between the European Community and those countries.

BACKGROUND: on 17 May 1999, the Council of the European Union and Norway concluded an Agreement concerning those states' association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis. On 26 October 2004, the European Union, the European Community and Switzerland signed the Agreement concerning the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis. On 1 March 2008 the Agreement entered into force. Lastly, on 21 June 2006, a Protocol between the Council of the European Union, the European Community, Switzerland and Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation's association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis was initialled. The Protocol was signed on 28 February 2008. The Association Agreements set up a Mixed Committee consisting of representatives of the governments of the Associated States as well as of the Council of the European Union and the Commission of the European Communities. Consequently, the representatives of the Associated States attend Mixed Committees which meet in form of Council working groups enlarged by the representatives of the Associated States. The participation in the Mixed Committee gives the Associated States the opportunity, in good time, to voice any concerns regarding developments of the Schengen acquis , which must be adopted by all the Associated States, and the implementation of this acquis. After discussion in the Mixed Committee, the measures taken to develop the Schengen acquis are adopted by the Council and by the European Parliament through the appropriate decision-taking procedure laid down in the Treaties. Thus, the Associated States participate in decision-shaping but not in decision-taking . This sui generis association with the Schengen acquis lead the Council to conclude agreements in the form of an exchange of letters concerning the Committees which assist the Commission in the exercise of its executive powers as regards the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis. It is therefore necessary to formalise the association of these countries with the work of the Schengen Comitology according a more appropriate procedure. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: not applicable. CONTENT: until the Arrangement covered by this document is concluded , the Associated States participate in the work of the Schengen Comitology committees as observers through the above mentioned ad hoc exchange of letters. This proposed Decision provides for the conclusion of a single Arrangement concerning the participation by the Associated States in the work of the Schengen Comitology committees to ensure consistency between and equal treatment of all Associated States. For efficiency, and to avoid the need to conduct separate negotiations, Liechtenstein has been associated with the negotiations on its participation in the Schengen Comitology committees before conclusion of the Association Protocol is completed. The Arrangement on the participation in the work of the Schengen Comitology committees will not apply to Liechtenstein until the date when the Association Protocol has entered into force. The negotiations were finalised on 30 June 2009 and the draft Arrangement was initialled. The main characteristics can be summarised as follows: Scope and purpose : the Arragement provides that: the Associated States will be associated as observers with the work of the current and future Comitology committees assisting the Commission in Schengen matters. The list of the Schengen Comitology committees will be regularly updated by the Commission and will be published in the Official Journal; a series of clear rights and obligations shall be established to ensure effective participation by the Associated States in the Schengen Comitology committees; the representatives of the Associated States shall receive all relevant meeting documents when the meeting of the committee is convened, they may comment on a proposed measure constituting a development of the Schengen acquis or voice any problems encountered in applying these measures; the representatives from these States will not take part in the voting of these committees and shall withdraw when the Committee moves to a vote; the Commission will communicate to the Associated States the acts and measures constituting a development of the Schengen acquis ; the Associated States will decide independently regarding the implementation of all measures adopted by the Schengen Comitology committee procedures concerning the application and development of the Schengen acquis confirming the rules set out in the basic Association Agreements; a financial contribution shall be made from the Associated States to the administrative expenses resulting from their participation in the Schengen Comitology committees. The Associated States shall make an annual contribution to the general budget of the European Communities in accordance with the percentage of the gross domestic product of their countries in relation to the gross domestic product of all participating States of an amount of EUR 500 000, subject to an annual adjustment to reflect the rate of inflation in the European Union. The travelling costs of the representatives who participate in the meetings of the Schengen Comitology committees shall not be reimbursed. It should be noted that the special situations of Denmark, the United Kingdom and Ireland are reflected in the preamble. Declaration : lastly, the Arrangement includes a Joint declaration which underlines that this specific association shall not be regarded as a legal or political precedent for any other field of cooperation between the European Community and those countries.
  • date: 2009-12-02T00:00:00 type: Additional information body: all summary: The Lisbon Treaty, which entered into force on 1 December 2009, amended the EU's two core treaties, the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and the Treaty establishing the European Community (EC Treaty). The latter was renamed the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). These changes had various consequences for many ongoing procedures. First of all, the articles of the TEU and of the old EC Treaty that constitute the legal basis of all the proposals founded on those Treaties were renumbered in accordance with the table of equivalences mentioned in Article 5 of the Lisbon Treaty. In addition, some proposals underwent a change to their legal basis going beyond a mere change to their numbering, and this resulted in changes to the type of procedure . The Lisbon Treaty also introduced new concepts of decision-making procedure . The old "codecision procedure" was extended to new areas and renamed the "ordinary legislative procedure". A new "consent procedure" replaced the old "assent procedure". New interinstitutional procedures were also set up for the adoption of certain non-legislative acts, for example the conclusion of some international agreements. The ongoing proposals concerned by these changes were formally modified by the Commission in a Communication published on 2 December 2009 (COM(2009)0665). In the case of the proposal for a Council Decision on the conclusion of the Arrangement between the European Community and the Republic of Iceland, the Principality of Liechtenstein, the Kingdom of Norway and the Swiss Confederation on the participation by those States in the work of the committees which assist the European Commission in the exercise of its executive powers as regards the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis, the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty had the following impacts : · the old legal basis - Treaty/EC/Art. 62, Art 63(3), Art 66, Art 202, Art.300(2) first para and (3) first para.- became Art. 77, Art. 79, Art. 74, Art. 218(6)(a). Please note that the numbering of the old legal basis corresponds to the consolidated version of the Treaty that was applicable immediately before the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, and may differ from the references in the original Commission proposal ; · the proposal, which had previously fallen under the old consultation procedure (CNS), was classified as an interinstitutional non-legislative procedure (NLE).
