Article 24 Committee procedure

This is a brief procedural article that establishes the committee mechanism supporting the Commission in its work under this Directive.

It ties the Commission's decision-making processes to the standard EU comitology framework, specifically Regulation (EU) No 182/2011, which governs how the Commission exercises its implementing powers with input from Member State representatives.

Article 24 is directly relevant to other articles in this Directive, such as Articles 13, 18, and 19, which explicitly call upon the examination procedure referenced here when the Commission adopts implementing acts.

Important points:

• The Commission is assisted by a committee established under the standard EU comitology rules set out in Regulation (EU) No 182/2011.
• The examination procedure under Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 applies when this article is referenced elsewhere in the Directive.
• This article underpins the Commission's ability to adopt implementing acts across multiple provisions of the Directive.
