The European Parliament adopted by 656 votes to 37, with 5 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the safeguard measures provided for in the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (codified text).

PURPOSE: codification of Regulation (EEC) No 1692/73 of the Council of 25 June 1973 on the safeguard measures provided for in the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway.

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.

ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.

CONTENT: in the interests of clarity and transparency of Union law, the purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Regulation (EEC) No 1692/73 on the safeguard measures provided for in the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway.

Regulation (EEC) No 1692/73 of the Council has been substantially amended several times. It is recalled that in 1987, the Commission decided to instruct its staff that all acts should be codified after no more than ten amendments, stressing that this is a minimum requirement. The Edinburgh European Council in December 1992 confirmed the importance of codification as it offers certainty as to the law applicable to a given matter at a given time.

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreed, by an interinstitutional agreement dated 20 December 1994, that an accelerated procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments.

The new Regulation will supersede the various acts incorporated in it ; it fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.

  • PURPOSE: codification of Regulation (EEC) No 1692/73 of the Council of 25 June 1973 on the safeguard measures provided for in the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway.

    LEGISLATIVE ACT: Regulation (EU) 2015/938 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 June 2015 on the safeguard measures provided for in the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway.

    CONTENT: Regulation (EEC) No 1692/73 of the Council has been substantially amended several times.

    The new Regulation concerns detailed rules which are necessary for implementing the safeguard clauses and precautionary measures provided for in Articles 22 to 27 of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Norway which was signed in Brussels on 14 May 1973.

    The implementation of the bilateral safeguard clauses of the Agreement requires uniform conditions for the adoption of safeguard measures. Those measures should be adopted in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

    The Commission should adopt immediately applicable implementing acts where, in duly justified cases relating to situations referred to in the Agreement or in the case of export aids that have a direct and immediate effect on trade, imperative grounds of urgency so require.

    The Commission shall include information on the implementation of this Regulation in its annual report on the application and implementation of trade defence measures presented to the European Parliament and to the Council pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009.

    Regulation (EEC) No 1692/73 of the Council is repealed.

    ENTRY INTO FORCE: 15.7.2015.

  • The European Parliament adopted by 656 votes to 37, with 5 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the safeguard measures provided for in the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (codified text).

    Parliament adopted its position at first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure taking over the Commission proposal.

    According to the Consultative Working Party of the legal services of the European Parliament, the proposal in question contains a straightforward codification of the existing texts without any change in their substance.

    The proposal to codify Regulation (EEC) No 1692/73 of the Council concerns the rules necessary for implementing the safeguard clauses and precautionary measures provided for in Articles 22 to 27 of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway which was signed in Brussels on 14 May 1973.

    The implementation of the bilateral safeguard clauses of the Agreement requires uniform conditions for the adoption of safeguard measures. Those measures should be adopted in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on comitology.

    Under this proposed Regulation, the Commission should adopt immediately applicable implementing acts where, in duly justified cases relating to situations referred to in the Agreement or in the case of export aids that have a direct and immediate effect on trade, imperative grounds of urgency so require.
