Division 4.14 Directive 2006/113/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on the quality required of shellfish waters

As regards Directive 2006/113/EC, the Commission should be empowered to adapt to technical and scientific progress the G values for the parameters, and the methods of analysis, set out in Annex I thereto. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 2006/113/EC, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

Accordingly, Article 12 of Directive 2006/113/EC shall be replaced by the following:

‘Article 12

The Commission, assisted by the Committee set up by Article 13(1) of Directive 2006/44/EC, shall adopt measures necessary to adapt to technical and scientific progress the G values for the parameters, and the methods of analysis, set out in Annex I to this Directive. Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 13(2) of Directive 2006/44/EC.’
