Council decision of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission

The main objectives of this proposal are to:
- facilitate adoption of basic legislation by setting criteria to guide the choice of implementing procedure;
- simplify these procedures and reduce the number of possible formulas, while at the same time guaranteeing the effectiveness of decision-making; the Commission will in this context adopt a model set of rules of procedure to be proposed to the committees;
- adapt existing procedures and align them on the formulas of this Decision; this reform will therefore entail repeal of the 1987 Decision;
- enhance monitoring of the exercise of implementing powers by the Community legislative authority - whether it be the Council or, under the
codecision procedure, the Council and Parliament - with due respect for the separation between executive and legislative powers;
- ensure that proposals for the adoption of legislative decisions may go to the legislative authority.
