2008/04/08 Initial legislative proposal
- COM(2008)0182 summary
  
  PURPOSE: to conclude a Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with Bosnia and Herzegovina. PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. POLITICAL BACKGROUND: the Council decided on 21 November 2005 to authorise the Commission to negotiate the SAA with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Negotiations were officially launched on 25 November 2005. After several years of negotiations, the final SAA text became available in May 2007. Lastly, Bosnia and Herzegovina's improved co-operation with the ICTY and progress in the last quarter of 2007 towards the implementation of the police reform enabled the Commission to initial the Stabilisation and Association Agreement in Sarajevo on 4 December 2007. The final decision to sign the SAA remains subject to the joint review foreseen in the Council conclusions of 21 November 2005 and the Joint Council/Commission Declaration: § on police reform, § ICTY cooperation, § legislative framework and administrative capacity development, § public broadcasting legislation. The present proposal does not prejudge the assessment of Bosnia and Herzegovina's compliance with its obligations in this regard. At the adoption of the negotiating Directives in November 2005, the Commission and the Council jointly declared that before negotiations on the SAA are concluded: 1) the Commission will report on the political conditionalities to the Council and that 2) the Council and the Commission will jointly review progress made by Bosnia and Herzegovina. Consequently, the Commission will, in due time and in line with the Joint Declaration, report to the Council and will jointly review progress with the Council before the final decision can be taken to sign the SAA with Bosnia and Herzegovina. CONTENT: the draft Stabilisation and Association Agreement is presented along the same lines as the Agreements already concluded or proposed with Croatia (see AVC/2001/0149), the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (see AVC/2001/0049), Albania (see AVC/2006/0044), Montenegro (see AVC/2007/0123) and more recently Serbia (see AVC/2007/0255). The draft Agreement aims to open the way for increased cooperation and stimulate the integration process of this country in the European structures. The Stabilisation and Association Agreement focuses on the following main elements: § provision for political dialogue with Bosnia and Herzegovina; § provisions on enhanced regional co-operation, including provisions on free trade areas between the countries of the region; § the perspective of the establishment of a free-trade area between the Community and Bosnia and Herzegovina within five years of the entry into force of the Agreement; § provisions on the movement of workers, freedom of establishment, supply of services, current payments and movement of capital; § the commitment by Bosnia and Herzegovina to approximate its legislation to that of the EC, notably in key areas of the internal market; § provisions on co-operation with Bosnia and Herzegovina in a wide range of fields, including justice, freedom and security; § provision for the establishment of a Stabilisation and Association Council which supervises the implementation of the Agreement, of a Stabilisation and Association Committee and a Stabilisation and Association Parliamentary Committee. The trade concessions granted by Council Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 introducing exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked to the European Union's Stabilisation and Association process, amending Regulation (EC) No 2820/98, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1763/1999 and (EC) No 6/2000 will continue to apply, in parallel to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement. The proposed decision which aims to conclude the Agreement on behalf of the Community stipulates that "the commercial provisions contained in this Agreement are of an exceptional nature, connected with the policy implemented within the framework of the Stabilisation and Association Process and will not constitute, for the European Union, any precedent in the commercial policy of the Community with regard to third countries other than those of the Western Balkans". Ratification by all Member States is a prerequisite for the entry into force of the Agreement as is the assent of the European Parliament. The procedures for the signature and the conclusion of the Agreement are different for the two European Communities: (the European Community and the European Atomic Energy Community): a) as regards signature, the first indent, first sentence of Article 300 (2) of the EC Treaty provides for a separate Council Decision concerning the signing of the Agreement on behalf of the European Community; similar acts are not required under the EAEC Treaty; b) as regards conclusion of the Agreement: § the Council concludes the Agreement on behalf of the European Community, after having received the assent of the European Parliament, by virtue of Article 310 of the Treaty; § the Council approves the Agreement on behalf of the European Atomic Energy Community by virtue of the second paragraph of Article 101 of the EAEC Treaty and the Agreement is then concluded by the Commission.

activities/12/text/0	changed	Old The Lisbon Treaty, which entered into force on 1 December 2009, amended the EU's two core treaties, the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and the Treaty establishing the European Community (EC Treaty). The latter was renamed the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). These changes had various consequences for many ongoing procedures. First of all, the articles of the TEU and of the old EC Treaty that constitute the legal basis of all the proposals founded on those Treaties were renumbered in accordance with the table of equivalences mentioned in Article 5 of the Lisbon Treaty. In addition, some proposals underwent a change to their legal basis going beyond a mere change to their numbering, and this resulted in changes to the type of procedure. The Lisbon Treaty also introduced new concepts of decision-making procedure. The old "codecision procedure" was extended to new areas and renamed the "ordinary legislative procedure". A new "consent procedure" replaced the old "assent procedure". New interinstitutional procedures were also set up for the adoption of certain non-legislative acts, for example the conclusion of some international agreements. The ongoing proposals concerned by these changes were formally modified by the Commission in a Communication published on 2 December 2009 (COM(2009)0665). In the case of the proposal for a Council and Commission Decision on the conclusion of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, of the other part, the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty had the following impacts: · the old legal basis - Treaty/EC/Art.300(2) first para, and (3) second para, and Art 310 - became Art 217, Art 218 (6)(a) of the TFEU. Please note that the numbering of the old legal basis corresponds to the consolidated version of the Treaty that was applicable immediately before the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, and may differ from the references in the original Commission proposal; · the proposal, which had previously fallen under the old assent procedure (AVC), was classified as an interinstitutional non-legislative procedure (NLE).

activities	added	date 2008-04-08 docs text PURPOSE: to conclude a Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with Bosnia and Herzegovina. PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. POLITICAL BACKGROUND: the Council decided on 21 November 2005 to authorise the Commission to negotiate the SAA with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Negotiations were officially launched on 25 November 2005. After several years of negotiations, the final SAA text became available in May 2007. Lastly, Bosnia and Herzegovina's improved co-operation with the ICTY and progress in the last quarter of 2007 towards the implementation of the police reform enabled the Commission to initial the Stabilisation and Association Agreement in Sarajevo on 4 December 2007. The final decision to sign the SAA remains subject to the joint review foreseen in the Council conclusions of 21 November 2005 and the Joint Council/Commission Declaration: § on police reform, § ICTY cooperation, § legislative framework and administrative capacity development, § public broadcasting legislation. The present proposal does not prejudge the assessment of Bosnia and Herzegovina's compliance with its obligations in this regard. At the adoption of the negotiating Directives in November 2005, the Commission and the Council jointly declared that before negotiations on the SAA are concluded: 1) the Commission will report on the political conditionalities to the Council and that 2) the Council and the Commission will jointly review progress made by Bosnia and Herzegovina. Consequently, the Commission will, in due time and in line with the Joint Declaration, report to the Council and will jointly review progress with the Council before the final decision can be taken to sign the SAA with Bosnia and Herzegovina. CONTENT: the draft Stabilisation and Association Agreement is presented along the same lines as the Agreements already concluded or proposed with Croatia (see AVC/2001/0149), the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (see AVC/2001/0049), Albania (see AVC/2006/0044), Montenegro (see AVC/2007/0123) and more recently Serbia (see AVC/2007/0255). The draft Agreement aims to open the way for increased cooperation and stimulate the integration process of this country in the European structures. The Stabilisation and Association Agreement focuses on the following main elements: § provision for political dialogue with Bosnia and Herzegovina; § provisions on enhanced regional co-operation, including provisions on free trade areas between the countries of the region; § the perspective of the establishment of a free-trade area between the Community and Bosnia and Herzegovina within five years of the entry into force of the Agreement; § provisions on the movement of workers, freedom of establishment, supply of services, current payments and movement of capital; § the commitment by Bosnia and Herzegovina to approximate its legislation to that of the EC, notably in key areas of the internal market; § provisions on co-operation with Bosnia and Herzegovina in a wide range of fields, including justice, freedom and security; § provision for the establishment of a Stabilisation and Association Council which supervises the implementation of the Agreement, of a Stabilisation and Association Committee and a Stabilisation and Association Parliamentary Committee. The trade concessions granted by Council Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 introducing exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked to the European Union's Stabilisation and Association process, amending Regulation (EC) No 2820/98, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1763/1999 and (EC) No 6/2000 will continue to apply, in parallel to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement. The proposed decision which aims to conclude the Agreement on behalf of the Community stipulates that "the commercial provisions contained in this Agreement are of an exceptional nature, connected with the policy implemented within the framework of the Stabilisation and Association Process and will not constitute, for the European Union, any precedent in the commercial policy of the Community with regard to third countries other than those of the Western Balkans". Ratification by all Member States is a prerequisite for the entry into force of the Agreement as is the assent of the European Parliament. The procedures for the signature and the conclusion of the Agreement are different for the two European Communities: (the European Community and the European Atomic Energy Community): a) as regards signature, the first indent, first sentence of Article 300 (2) of the EC Treaty provides for a separate Council Decision concerning the signing of the Agreement on behalf of the European Community; similar acts are not required under the EAEC Treaty; b) as regards conclusion of the Agreement: § the Council concludes the Agreement on behalf of the European Community, after having received the assent of the European Parliament, by virtue of Article 310 of the Treaty; § the Council approves the Agreement on behalf of the European Atomic Energy Community by virtue of the second paragraph of Article 101 of the EAEC Treaty and the Agreement is then concluded by the Commission. title COM(2008)0182 type Initial legislative proposal published celexid CELEX:52008PC0182(02):EN body EC commission DG Enlargement Commissioner FÜLE Štefan type Initial legislative proposal date 2008-04-29 body type Resolution/conclusions adopted by Council date 2008-04-29 body CSL type Council Meeting council General Affairs meeting_id 2864 date 2008-06-06 docs url http://register.consilium.europa.eu/servlet/driver?page=Result&lang=EN&typ=Advanced&cmsid=639&ff_COTE_DOCUMENT=8225%2F08&fc=REGAISEN&srm=25&md=100 text This document consists of the final act by whic the COuncil decided to approve on behalf of the European Community and its Member States, the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with Bosnia and Herzegovina (see Council doc. 08226/2008 or the final act of the SAA).

The latter was renamed the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). These changes had various consequences for many ongoing procedures. First of all, the articles of the TEU and of the old EC Treaty that constitute the legal basis of all the proposals founded on those Treaties were renumbered in accordance with the table of equivalences mentioned in Article 5 of the Lisbon Treaty. In addition, some proposals underwent a change to their legal basis going beyond a mere change to their numbering, and this resulted in changes to the type of procedure. The Lisbon Treaty also introduced new concepts of decision-making procedure. The old "codecision procedure" was extended to new areas and renamed the "ordinary legislative procedure". A new "consent procedure" replaced the old "assent procedure". New interinstitutional procedures were also set up for the adoption of certain non-legislative acts, for example the conclusion of some international agreements. The ongoing proposals concerned by these changes were formally modified by the Commission in a Communication published on 2 December 2009 (COM(2009)0665). In the case of the proposal for a Council and Commission Decision on the conclusion of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, of the other part, the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty had the following impacts: · the old legal basis - Treaty/EC/Art.300(2) first para, and (3) second para, and Art 310 - became Art 217, Art 218 (6)(a) of the TFEU. Please note that the numbering of the old legal basis corresponds to the consolidated version of the Treaty that was applicable immediately before the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, and may differ from the references in the original Commission proposal; · the proposal, which had previously fallen under the old assent procedure (AVC), was classified as an interinstitutional non-legislative procedure (NLE). body type Additional information
