document	COM(2000)281
date	December 5, 2000

(1) Assistance for Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has been implemented essentially under Council Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96 i, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2454/1999 i, and under Council Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 i, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 i.

(2) Regulation (EC) No 1628/96 as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2454/99 set up the European Agency for Reconstruction, for which it was the legal basis.

(3) On [date of adoption of CARDS] the Council adopted Regulation [CARDS] which lays down a single legal framework for assistance to those countries and repeals Regulation (EC) No 1628/96.

(4) The provisions governing the creation and operation of the European Agency for Reconstruction should therefore be adapted to Regulation [CARDS] and incorporated in a new Regulation.

(5) The Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Regulation, powers other than those under Article 308.
