I det konkrete tilfælde med direktivet om PCB og PCT fremgik det af drøftelserne i forbindelse med Rådets endelige vedtagelse heraf, at en erklæring, som var blevet udarbejdet i starten af forhandlingerne, dvs. januar 1995, inden Rådet i 1995 vedtog adfærdskodeksen og altså under den tidligere Kommission, ikke var tilfredsstillende, hvad retssikkerheden angik.
In the specific case of the directive on PCBs and PCTs, it emerged from the discussions in connection with the final adoption of the directive by the Council that a declaration which had been drawn up at the start of the negotiations - in January 1995, before the Council adopted the code of conduct later that year and thus during the previous Commission - was unsatisfactory from the point of view of legal certainty.
