COMMON FORUM NEWS NR. 27 ICCL and COMMON FORUM meeting in Stockholm 10-12 September 2007
By Joop | August 9, 2007
Dear All,
1] COMMON FORUM
The COMMON FORUM meeting in Stockholm is approaching. In view of the developments of the discussions about the Soil Framework Directive we need to adapt the agenda for the meeting. The Portuguese Presidency has put the discussion on the Soil Framework Directive in very high gear. The European Parliament also published reports containing many amendments , some of these in line with COMMON FORUM ideas, fortunately, but there are also other types of amendment. I would like to propose to spend all time available on 12 September to a discussion on the draft text the Presidency will deliver by the end of this month/beginning of September, and other texts that are available. That means that the meeting on 12 september will not end on 14.00 as indicated in previous COMMOM FORUM news, but will continue till 17.30. I do hope that most of you have booked evening flights or flights on 13 september. In any case it would be appreciated if you could stay as long as possible. Our meeting may be crucial as a council working party meeting will be held on Sept 17th on text of the Portugese presidency.
There is also an opportunity to discuss the SFD in more general terms in session C of the ICCL meeting on 11 September.
I will prepare a document aiming to provide some structure for the discussion which I will send you short before the meeting. This document will be based on texts, amendments. reports of EP and Presidency as available early September, but it can of course not cover last minute information, however our meetings are usually flexible enough to accommodate these if necessary.
I will keep you informed about further details about the ICCL and COMMON FORUM meeting agenda.
