Opinion on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council Directive on certain methods for the quantitative analysis of binary textile fibre mixtures (1) (94/C 195/05)

On 17 February 1994 the Council decided to consult the Economic and Social Committee, under Article 100A of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the abovementioned proposal.

The Section for Industry, Commerce, Crafts and Services, which was responsible for preparing the Committee's work on the subject, adopted its Opinion on 15 April 1994. The Rapporteur was Mr Smith.

At its 315th Plenary Session (meeting of 27 April 1994) the Economic and Social Committee adopted the following Opinion unanimously.

1. The proposal serves the purpose of consolidating in one single text all legislative instruments adopted since 1972 concerning certain methods for the quantitative analysis of binary textile fibre mixtures.

2. The Committee considers it most useful to have all texts assembled in one Directive. It has been assured that this consolidated compilation contains no material changes and serves the only purpose of rendering Community law clear and transparent. The Committee fully endorses this objective and, having received the abovementioned assurance, welcomes the proposal.

Done at Brussels, 27 April 1994.
