4.2. Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (1) U.K.

As regards Directive 2004/17/EC, the Commission should be empowered in particular to make technical adjustments to certain provisions of the Directive and its Annexes, in line with technical progress or developments in Member States, and to revise the thresholds for application of the arrangements. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 2004/17/EC, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

On grounds of efficiency and because of the time-limits imposed by the procedures laid down for calculation and publication, the normal time-limits for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny should be curtailed for the revision of certain thresholds.

When, on imperative grounds of urgency, the normal time-limits for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny cannot be complied with, the Commission should be able to have recourse to the urgency procedure provided for in Article 5a(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC for the adoption of amendments of a purely technical nature.

Accordingly, Directive 2004/17/EC is hereby amended as follows:

1.

Article 68 shall be replaced by the following:

Article 68Committee procedure

1.The Commission shall be assisted by the Committee established by Council Decision 71/306/EEC(2).

2.Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 3 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.

3.Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 5a(1) to (4) and Article 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.

4.Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 5a(1) to (4) and (5)(b) and Article 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.

The time-limits laid down in Article 5a(3)(c), (4)(b) and (4)(e) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at four, two and six weeks respectively.

5.Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 5a(1), (2), (4) and (6) and Article 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.;

2.

Article 69 shall be amended as follows:

(a)

the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 shall be replaced by the following:

The Commission shall verify the thresholds established in Article 16 every two years from 30 April 2004, and shall, if necessary, with regard to the second subparagraph, revise them. Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 68(4). On imperative grounds of urgency, the Commission may have recourse to the urgency procedure referred to in Article 68(5).;

(b)

the first subparagraph of paragraph 2 shall be replaced by the following:

At the same time as performing the revision under paragraph 1, the Commission shall align the thresholds laid down in Article 61 (design contests) with the revised threshold applicable to service contracts. Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 68(4). On imperative grounds of urgency, the Commission may have recourse to the urgency procedure referred to in Article 68(5).;

3.

Article 70 shall be replaced by the following:
