". It is absolutely essential that Community legislation be simplified and made clearer in order to make it more accessible to the ordinary citizen and easier for everyone to understand. Objectives such as this will be difficult to achieve if we retain, on the same issue, a spread of provisions, many of which are often substantially amended. The aim of the Commission proposal before us – one which I naturally support – is to codify Council Directive 78/659/EEC of 18 July 1978, on the quality of fresh waters needing protection or improvement in order to support fish life. This is in line with the Commission’s decision of 1 April 1987 to call on its services to set about codifying all legislative acts after they have undergone ten amendments, in order to ensure that Community decisions are clear and comprehensible. It also tallies with the Presidency conclusions of the Edinburgh European Council of December 1992, which reaffirmed the importance of codification. I voted in favour of this report, which recommends that this proposal be adopted."@en1
