Adjustment of Directive 2006/66/EC to Council Decision 2006/512/EC (new regulatory procedure with scrutiny)

Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission1, has been amended by Council Decision 2006/512/EC of 17 July 20062.

Article 5a of the amended Decision introduces a new regulatory procedure with scrutiny to be used for measures of general scope which seek to amend non-essential elements of a basic instrument, adopted under co-decision, including by deleting some of those elements or by supplementing the instrument by the addition of new non-essential elements.

Directive 2006/66/EC on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators and repealing Directive 91/157/EEC was subject to third reading agreement by the co-legislators just prior to the entry into force of the new comitology decision.[3] The Directive entered into force following publication in the Official Journal on 26 September 20063 and needs therefore now to be adjusted so as to include, when appropriate, references to the new regulatory procedure with scrutiny.
