Article 62 Committee procedure

This is a short procedural article that establishes the committee arrangement supporting the Commission in its work under this Regulation.

It anchors the committee firmly within the standard EU comitology framework set out in Regulation (EU) No 182/2011, and specifies that the examination procedure under that Regulation applies when the committee is called upon.

This article is closely connected to numerous other articles across the Regulation that require implementing acts to be adopted, as those articles consistently refer back to the examination procedure referenced here.

Important points:

• The Commission is assisted by a committee governed by Regulation (EU) No 182/2011, specifically operating under the examination procedure of Article 5 of that Regulation.
• The committee's role is procedural, providing the formal mechanism through which the Commission adopts implementing acts across the Regulation.
• Where a written procedure is used to obtain the committee's opinion, any member of the committee or the chair can terminate that procedure without result within the applicable time-limit.
