"This report is very important in the context of improving and simplifying the Community’s legal environment. I would particularly like to stress its importance with regard to the need to strengthen the European Parliament’s role in the legislative process and its importance in terms of eliminating the democratic deficit. I also fully support the desire to establish methods of consultation with the European Parliament on the adoption of so-called non-binding legal acts, especially since these acts are fairly common: they often earn attributes such as ‘unclear’ and ‘inefficient’, and their excessive use may be a manifestation of exceeding the scope of the Commission’s. In addition, the public may identify the image of European ‘superbureaucracy’ with these acts.
Although the report recommends that soft law should not be used in official Community documents and that the distinction between
and
should not be recognised, I do not consider this to be a relevant issue. The difference between binding and non-binding acts of the Community is a matter of fact and this recommendation does not change either the reality of their existence or their essence. In addition, the fact that the soft rules of secondary Community law are not legally binding does not mean that they have no legal value. Think, for example, of their importance in the interpretation of legal acts. Furthermore, if a Community body does not issue a recommendation or does not express an opinion in cases where it is obliged to do so, it can be accused of being passive. However, this last comment is a technical one and does not detract from the report as a whole."@en1
