COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 23 December 1991 standardizing and rationalizing reports on the implementation of certain Directives relating to the environment (91/692/EEC)

Id-Direttiva tal-Kunsill

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

tat-23 ta' Diċembru, 1991,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 130s thereof,

biex tistandardizza u tirrazzjonalizza rapporti dwar l-implimentazzjoni ta' ċerti direttivi fuq l-ambjent

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

(91/692/KEE)

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

IL-KUNSILL TAL-KOMUNITAJIET EWROPEJ,

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Wara li kkunsidra t-Trattat li jistabbilixxi l-Komunità Ekonomika Ewropea, u partikolarment l-Artikolu 103s tiegħu,

Whereas some Community Directives relating to the environment require the Member States to establish a report on the measures taken to implement them; whereas the Commission drafts a consolidated report; whereas other Community Directives relating to the environment call for no such reports;

Wara li kkunsidra l-proposta mill-Kummissjoni [1],

Whereas the existing provisions on the establishment of reports stipulate different intervals between reports and set different requirements for their content;

Wara li kkunsidra l-opinjoni tal-Parlament Ewropew [2],

Whereas such an obligation should be introduced to enable the Member States and the Commission alike to assess the progress made in implementing these Directives throughout the Community's territory and, at the same time, to provide the general public with a source of information on this subject;

Wara li kkunsidra l-opinjoni tal-Kumitat Ekonomiku u Soċjali [3],

Whereas the existing provisions should therefore be harmonized to make them more consistent and more complete on a sectoral basis;

Billi dwar xi Direttivi tal-Komunità fuq l-ambjent jeħtieġ li l-Istati Membri jħejju rapport fuq il-miżuri meħuda biex jimplimentawhom; billi l-Kummissjoni tagħmel abbozz ta' rapport konsolidat; billi Direttivi oħra tal-Komunità dwar l-ambjent ma jitolbux li jkun hemm rapporti bħal dawn;

Whereas the interval at which the Member States submit these reports to the Commission should be fixed at three years, with a one-year interval between sectors; whereas the reports are to be drawn up on the basis of a questionnaire produced by the Commission with the assistance of a committee and sent to Member States six months before the start of the period referred to by the report; whereas the Commission is to publish a consolidated report on the sector concerned within nine months of Member States' submission of their respective reports;

Billi d-dispożizzjonijiet li hemm fis-seħħ bħalissa biex isiru rapporti jistipulaw intervalli differenti bejn ir-rapporti u jistabbilixxu ħtiġijiet differenti dwar il-kontenut tagħhom;

Whereas, in particular, the report on the implementation of Council Directive 76/160/EEC of 8 December 1975 concerning the quality of bathing water (4), as last amended by the 1985 Act of Accession, should appear annually and in sufficient time to inform the public of the quality of bathing water for the most recent period.

Billi obbligazzjoni bħal din għandha tiddaħħal biex kemm l-Istati Membri kif ukoll il-Kummissjoni jkunu jistgħu jeżaminaw il-progress li jkun sar fl-implimentazzjoni ta' dawk id-Direttivi fit-territorju kollu tal-Komunità u, fl-istess ħin, biex il-pubbliku inġenerali jkollu minn fejn jieħu informazzjoni fuq dan is-suġġett;

Whereas the measures which need to be taken by Member States do not entail the adoption of legislation or regulations since the drawing-up of reports on the implementation of Community Directives does not at present require the adoption of such provisions by Member States,

Billi d-dispożizzjonijiet li hemm fis-seħħ bħalissa għandhom għalhekk ikunu armonizzati biex isiru aktar konsistenti u aktar kompleti fuq bażi settorjali;

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Billi l-intervall li fih l-Istati Membri jibagħtu dawn ir-rapporti lill-Kummissjoni għandu jkun dak stabbilit ta' tliet snin, b'intervall ta' sena bejn is-setturi; billi r-rapporti għandhom isiru skond kwestjonarju magħmul mill-Kummissjoni bl-għajnuna ta' kumitat, u mibgħuta lill-Istati Membri sitt xhur qabel il-bidu tal-perjodu msemmi fir-rapport; billi l-Kummissjoni għandha tippubblika rapport konsolidat fis-settur interessat fi żmien disa xhur minn meta l-Istati Membri jibagħtu r-rapporti rispettivi tagħhom;

Billi, b'mod partikolari, ir-rapport dwar l-implimentazzjoni tad-Direttiva tal-Kunsill 76/160/KEE tat-8 ta' Diċembru, 1975, dwar il-kwalità ta' l-ilma ta' l-għawm [4], kif l-aħħar emendata bl-Att ta' Adeżjoni ta' l-1985, għandu joħroġ kull sena u fi żmien biżżejjed biex jgħarraf lill-pubbliku dwar il-kwalità ta' l-ilma fejn wieħed jgħum sa l-aktar żmien qarib;

Billi l-miżuri li jenħtieġ jittieħdu mill-Istati Membri ma jitolbux li jsiru liġijiet jew regolamenti billi t-tħejjija ta' rapporti dwar l-implimentazzjoni tad-Direttivi tal-Komunità bħalissa ma titlobx li jsiru dawk id-dispożizzjonijiet mill-Istati Membri,
