SECTION 2 - SECOND READING

Rule 63:Communication of the Council's position

1.Communication of the Council's position pursuant to Article 294 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union takes place when it is announced by the President in Ϸվ. The President shall make the announcement after receiving the documents which contain the position itself, all declarations made in the Council minutes when it adopted the position, the reasons which led the Council to adopt its position, and the Commission's position, duly translated into the official languages of the European Union. The President's announcement shall be made during the part-session following the receipt of those documents.

Before making the announcement, the President establishes, after consulting the Chair of the committee responsible, or the rapporteur, or both of them, that the text received is indeed Council’s first reading position and that the circumstances described in Rule 61 do not apply. Failing this, the President, together with the committee responsible and, where possible, in agreement with the Council, seeks an appropriate solution.

2.On the day of its announcement in Ϸվ, the Council's position shall be deemed to have been referred automatically to the committee responsible at first reading.

3.A list of such communications shall be published in the minutes of the sitting together with the names of the committees responsible.
