COM(2007) 446 final — 2007/0164 (COD)

(2008/C 44/07)

On 5 September 2007 the Council decided to consult the European Economic and Social Committee, under Article 95 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the abovementioned proposal.

Since the Committee unreservedly endorses the proposal and feels that it requires no comment on its part, it decided, at its 439th plenary session of 24 and 25 October 2007 (meeting of 24 October), by 153 votes in favour with 2 abstentions, to issue an opinion endorsing the proposed text.
