In accordance with the provisions of Article 294 of the TFEU and the joint declaration on practical arrangements for the co-decision procedure a number of informal contacts took place between the Council, the European Parliament and the Commission with a view to reaching an agree-ment on this dossier at first reading, thereby avoiding the need for a second reading and conciliation.
In this context, the rapporteur, Sarah BARONESS LUDFORD (ALDE – UK), presented a report on behalf of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs consisting of one compromise amendment to the initiative for a Directive. This amendment had been agreed during the informal contacts referred to above.
