".
I voted in favour of the legislative resolution approving the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the supplementary protection certificate for medicinal products, and this on the basis of the report by my British fellow Member, Mrs Wallis. This proposal arises from the wish to consolidate Community law, referred to – inappropriately, in my opinion – as codification. I am sorry that, in view of the development and the complexity of the texts, the Commission has not revised its position dating from the 1 April 1987 and consisting of instructing its services to go ahead and codify all legislative acts no later than after their tenth modification while, at the same time, emphasising that this was a minimum rule and that, in the interests of clarity and proper understanding of Community legislation, the services were to make efforts to codify the texts for which they were responsible at still shorter intervals. In this particular case, we are consolidating the Council regulation of 1992 and the four texts that modified it in, respectively, 1994, 2003, 2005 and 2006. I consider that the policy of consolidating Community law should be one of the European Commission’s priorities and that the current situation is not in order, particularly in relation to the Member States and Europeans."@en1
