As regards Directive 94/63/EC, the Commission should be empowered to revise the specifications for bottom loading equipment laid down in Annex IV thereto, and to adapt, with the exception of limit values laid down in point 2 of Annex II, the Annexes to technical progress.

1.

in Article 4(1), the sixth subparagraph shall be replaced by the following:

All terminals with loading facilities for road tankers shall be equipped with at least one gantry which meets the specifications for bottom loading equipment laid down in Annex IV. The Commission shall re-examine those specifications at regular intervals and, if appropriate, 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 8(2).;

2.
