PURPOSE: the codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 1616/2006 on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Albania, of the other part, and for applying the Interim Agreement between the European Community and Albania.

LEGISLATIVE ACT: Regulation (EU) 2015/939 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 June 2015 on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Albania, of the other part (codified text).

CONTENT: Council Regulation (EC) No 1616/2006 has been substantially amended several times. Consequently, in the interests of clarity and rationality, it was decided to codify the Regulation.

The Regulation specifically seeks to:

lay down the rules governing fishery products originating in Albania may be imported into the Union at a reduced customs duty , within the limits of tariff quotas; require that any trade defence measures should be adopted in accordance with the general provisions of Regulation (EU) 2015/478 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 or, as the case may be, Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009; indicate the relevant legislation to apply where a Member State provides information to the Commission on a possible fraud or failure to provide administrative cooperation ; provide that the Commission should be assisted by the Customs Code Committee ; stipulate that any safeguard measures should be adopted in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and the Council; enable the Commission to adopt immediately applicable implementing acts where, in duly justified cases relating to exceptional and critical circumstances arising, imperative grounds of urgency so require.

ENTRY INTO FORCE: 15.7.2015. Regulation (EC) No 1616/2006 is repealed.

PURPOSE: to codify Council Regulation (EC) No 1616/2006 on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Albania, of the other part, and for applying the Interim Agreement between the European Community and Albania.

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 rationality, the purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 1616/2006 of 23 October 2006 on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Albania, of the other part, and for applying the Interim Agreement between the European Community and Albania.

Council Regulation (EC) No 1616/2006 has been substantially amended. It is recalled that on 1 April 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 Conclusions of the Presidency of the December 1992 Edinburgh European Council confirmed this, stressing the importance of codification.

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 proposed Regulation will supersede the various acts incorporated in it ; this proposal 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.

    LEGISLATIVE ACT: Regulation (EU) 2015/939 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 June 2015 on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Albania, of the other part (codified text).

    CONTENT: Council Regulation (EC) No 1616/2006 has been substantially amended several times. Consequently, in the interests of clarity and rationality, it was decided to codify the Regulation.

    The Regulation specifically seeks to:

    • lay down the rules governing fishery products originating in Albania may be imported into the Union at a reduced customs duty, within the limits of tariff quotas;
    • require that any trade defence measures should be adopted in accordance with the general provisions of Regulation (EU) 2015/478 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 or, as the case may be, Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009;
    • indicate the relevant legislation to apply where a Member State provides information to the Commission on a possible fraud or failure to provide administrative cooperation;
    • provide that the Commission should be assisted by the Customs Code Committee;
    • stipulate that any safeguard measures should be adopted in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and the Council;
    • enable the Commission to adopt immediately applicable implementing acts where, in duly justified cases relating to exceptional and critical circumstances arising, imperative grounds of urgency so require.

    ENTRY INTO FORCE: 15.7.2015. Regulation (EC) No 1616/2006 is repealed.

    • provide that the for the purposes of implementing the relevant provisions of this Regulation, the Commission should be assisted by the Customs Code Committee;
    • stipulates that the implementation of the bilateral safeguard clauses of the SAA requires uniform conditions for the adoption of safeguard and other measures should be adopted in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (comitology);
    • enable the Commission to adopt immediately applicable implementing acts where, in duly justified cases relating to exceptional and critical circumstances, imperative grounds of urgency so require.

  • PURPOSE: to codify Council Regulation (EC) No 1616/2006 on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Albania, of the other part, and for applying the Interim Agreement between the European Community and Albania.

    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 rationality, the purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 1616/2006 of 23 October 2006 on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Albania, of the other part, and for applying the Interim Agreement between the European Community and Albania.

    Council Regulation (EC) No 1616/2006 has been substantially amended. It is recalled that on 1 April 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 Conclusions of the Presidency of the December 1992 Edinburgh European Council confirmed this, stressing the importance of codification.

    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 proposed Regulation will supersede the various acts incorporated in it; this proposal 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.
