SECTION 1 - FIRST READING

Rule 61:Renewed referral to Ϸվ

1.The President shall, at the request of the committee responsible, ask the Commission to refer its proposal again to Ϸվ where:

–the Commission replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its initial proposal after Ϸվ has adopted its position, except where this is done in order to take account of Ϸվ's position;

–the nature of the problem with which the proposal is concerned substantially changes as a result of the passage of time or changes in circumstances; or

–new elections to Ϸվ have taken place since it adopted its position, and the Conference of Presidents considers it desirable.

2.If a modification of the legal basis of a proposal is envisaged which would result in the ordinary legislative procedure no longer applying to that proposal, the Ϸվ, Council and Commission will, pursuant to paragraph 25 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Law Making, acting through their respective Presidents or their representatives, exchange views thereon.

3.Following the exchange of views referred to in paragraph 2, the President shall, at the request of the committee responsible, ask the Council to refer the draft legally binding act to Ϸվ again, where the Commission or the Council intends to modify the legal basis provided for in Ϸվ's position at first reading, with the result that the ordinary legislative procedure would no longer apply.
