Article 250, para 2, of the Treaties reads as follows:
"As long as the Council has not acted, the Commission may alter its
proposal at any time during the procedures leading to the adoption of a
Community act."
I have been asked for an intepretation of what is meant by "has not
acted". I assume that, as far as cooperation and codecision
procedures are concerned, that this means before the Council has adopted its
Common Position - but I am no expert in what the Treaties mean!!
Can anyone point me in the direction of any kind of official and/or
reliable interpretation on this?
grateful for your help, as ever,
regards
