Vi kan heller ikke uden videre acceptere Kommissionens argumentation om, at dens forslag er blevet forsinket, fordi der endnu ikke er faldet dom i den sag om retsgrundlaget for forordning 820 / 97, som er anlagt ved Domstolen.
The Commission 's contention, that the presentation of its proposal was delayed because the outcome of the case pending against the Council before the European Court of Justice on the legal basis for Regulation 820/ 97 has not yet been decided, is also unacceptable.
