Following the successful conclusion of the informal trialogues on 5 December and the receipt of a formal letter from Coreper with the accepted text of both legislative instruments, the Committee endorsed the outcome of negotiations by 35 votes in favour, 4 against, no abstentions. IMCO has thus adopted 3 of the important actions of the Single Market Act before the end of 2012. The Rapporteur for ADR considered it nevertheless important to draw Members' attention to a certain phrase in one of the Recitals (allowing the ADR entities to extend the 90-day period to solve the dispute "for justified grounds vested in the sphere of the parties to the dispute") which will need to be carefully examined by the lawyer-linguists of both institutions (Parliament and Council) in order to ensure legal clarity and consistency with the corresponding Article (where this phrase does not appear).
