COM(2007) 93 final — 2007/0036 (COD)

On 19 April 2007 the Council of the European Union decided to consult the European Economic and Social Committee, under Article 175, paragraph 1 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the abovementioned proposal.

Since the Committee has already set out its views on the contents of the proposal in question in its opinion, adopted on 28 April 2004 (1), it decided, at its 436th plenary session of 30 and 31 May 2007 (meeting of 30 May), by 159 votes with 11 abstentions, not to draw up a new opinion on the subject, but to refer to the position it had taken in the above-mentioned document.
