4 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR USING LEGISWRITE (LW) FOR CODIFICATION:

INTRODUCTION: The introduction of the LegisWrite C/R, developed by the Legal Service and the Informatics Directorate of DG ADMIN, gave rise to a need to reappraise codification working methods. The more structured recourse to recasting, in respect of which use of the LegisWrite C/R tool is obligatory, has meant, in addition, that knowledge of codification techniques and working methods is required not only of the LS Codification Group but also of authors throughout the Directorates General charged with the preparation of recast acts.

Consequently, whilst this Practical Guide is intended primarily for the use of the Codification Group, it should also be of assistance to all persons who need to use the LegisWrite C/R tool.

It should be seen as complementary to the LegisWrite base manual and to the LegisWrite C/R manual and to be read in conjunction with them. Moreover, attendance at a training session for LegisWrite C/R is highly recommended. It is also complementary to the Joint Practical Guide which should be also consulted on legislative drafting techniques and standard formulae.

This Practical Guide was drawn up by the Codification Group after consulting the Office for Official Publication, the LS team of lawyer linguists and DG ADMIN Informatics Directorate on several occasions. All members of the Codification Group contributed to the drafting process which was led and coordinated by Mr. Andreas Manville, to whom all comments and questions should be addressed.

This first version of the Practical guide was finalised on 9 July 2004.

(( II )) GG EE NN EE RR AA LL RR EE MM AA RR KK SS OO NN CC RR EE AA TT II NN GG AA DD OO CC UU MM EE NN TT ::

(1) “EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM”:

Commission acts (C-documents): Explanatory Memorandum is absent.

Council/EP & Council acts (COM-documents): Explanatory Memorandum is obligatory.

(How to create those documents, see below point (I)(12) “The LW-codification signs”)

(2) CITATION:

(i) How to cite an act: An act is cited in the following way:

English: institution – act – number – date – full title

French: act – number – institution – date – full title

When an act is mentioned for the first time it must be cited in full, i.e. institution, number, date, title, reference to the OJ. The latest amendment is mentioned in the footnote.

(For Accession Acts, see below (I)(14) “How_to_cite_Accession_Acts”)

Page 5: PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR USING LEGISWRITE C/R FOR CODIFICATION€¦ · The latest amendment is mentioned in the footnote. (For Accession Acts, see below (I)(14) “How_to_cite_Accession_Acts”)

5 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

(ii) In the citation/recitals:

In the citation/recital part of the text (= text prior to the articles) the act cited is to be mentioned in full. Its latest amendment is given in the footnote. This means the footnote to the act cited contains the following: “OJ reference for the act cited, the latest amendment[in case instition], (OJ reference for the latest amendment)”. Example: “Council Directive 73/23/EEC of 19 February 1973 on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits1,…”

Note: The footnote must always be placed after the full title of the act cited and not after the number!

(iii) In the text of the article and annex to the act: Only the act, number and institution are to be mentioned. In a footnote only the OJ reference of the basic act is given; the last amendment must not be mentioned!

(iv) Citation of article, paragraph and point (pay attention to the use of capital/small letter etc.):

For English: point (a) of Article 1(1)

En français: article 1er, paragraphe 1, point a)

Important: This description of a reference does not apply to the reference box!

In the correlation table the citation is different, see below Correlation table.

General remark: the institution, date, full title, OJ reference, and its latest amendment are mentioned only once, the first time the act is cited. Afterwards only the act and its number are given.

(3) WHAT IS TO BE CITED IN THE REFERENCE BOX: General: No comments or explanations in the reference box!

The style in the reference box relates to each individual language style. (see below (II) References in the reference box)

(a) Citation of the basic act: Only the act's reference number is given, unless the numbering of the recital changed as a result of the intervention of the codifier of the Codification Group (hereafter: “CG”) (so not where it is changed by legislative amendment), e.g.

73/23/EEC

73/23/EEC recital 5

(b) Citation of an amendment: The reference number of the amending act plus the exact reference of the amendment of the part of the text in question, e.g.

99/17/EC Art. 1(3) pt. 4 and Annex pt. 2 The reference number of the amending act without mentioning “Annex” only if the Annex is replaced completely, e.g.

1 OJ L 77, 26.3.1973, p. 29. Directive as [last] amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (OJ L 220, 30.8.1993, p. 1).

Page 6: PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR USING LEGISWRITE C/R FOR CODIFICATION€¦ · The latest amendment is mentioned in the footnote. (For Accession Acts, see below (I)(14) “How_to_cite_Accession_Acts”)

6 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

99/17/EC Art. 1(4) pt. 5

See below for the other acts to be mentioned in the reference box ((II) References for the basic act/references in general in the reference box).

(4) STRUCTURE OF A DOCUMENT: The document contains various sections.

The end of a section is indicated by the insertion of a “Section Break (Next Page)”.

In general, a document will have the following sections:

0. The non-printed page with the language reference (Page de Garde)2

1. Front Page (Page de Couverture)3

2. Explanatory Memorandum (only for COM-documents!)4

3. Body of the act

4. Annex[es] to the act

5. Codification annexes (or “standard technical annexes”)5

Where an act contains several annexes to the act each annex is an independent one, thus the different annexes must be separated by a “Section Break (Next Page)”.

Note: Within a section there CANNOT be a “Section Break (Next Page)”!

Exception: A section break must also be inserted where a picture (or table etc.) needs to be put in the text in landscape format!

To insert a “Section Break (Next Page)” (open the menu “Insert”, click “Break” and choose below “Section” the wanted point). Attention – there must be no further section breaks otherwise the structure of the document is lost.

Example of the structure of a COM-document: (Remark: For reasons connected with the display of this page the layout of the single pages has been altered a little, in particular the paragraph spacing is changed. So, the following page should serve only to show the different sections and the “standard” way to build up each single section; see also below “ (8) Front Page“ and “(9) Styles on the first page after the Explanatory Memorandum“.)

2 No reference box on this page! 3 No reference box on this page! 4 No reference box on this page! 5 After the “Section Break” must be a reference box with an up-going arrow ( )!

8 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

(5) USE OF TRACK CHANGES (TC): TC must not be used!

(6) USE OF THE “ADAPTATION”-BUTTONS (THE ARROWS/DOUBLE-STRIKE-THROUGH) AND THE "MINOR CHANGE MARKERS" (DOUBLE-UNDERLINED/DOUBLE-STRIKE-THROUGH-DOUBLE-UNDERLINED):

(a) In principle: each intervention in the text in the course of codification is an adaptation. In practice the following rule has been developed:

Each intervention in the text has to be marked as “adapted” in the reference box except those cases referred to in points (b) and (c).

For the correct indication, see below (IX) Types of interventions

(b) Minor changes:

are to be indicated by minor change markers (double-underlined/double-strike-through-double-underlined) (see also below IX) (2) Minor changes). They must be used to indicate the following minor changes:

Application of the “Règles de technique législative”, (RTL)-rules and the rules of the “Joint Practical Guide”,

Renumbering of annexes, articles, paragraphs, points etc. and adapted cross-references,

Corrections of punctuation errors;

Each correction/update which is common to all 11 language versions, except those of point c) hereafter.

(c) “Interventions” not to be indicated at all:

Changes to the text where no trace of the change is left:

Correction of spelling/grammatical errors,

Adapting the recitals to the new “look”(deleting “whereas” or “considérant que” and replacing “;” by a full stop).

Updated notions in standard parts of the text given automatically by the LW system

Renumbering of a recital (see below (VIII) Renumbering/move of text)

As there is a “grey” zone it can sometimes be difficult to decide whether or not a change amounts to an adaptation, e.g. in cases of grammatical errors. If in doubt, it is probably better to indicate the change as an adaptation.

(7) THE STANDARD TECHNICAL ANNEX SETTING OUT THE LIST OF REPEALED ACTS:

Page 9: PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR USING LEGISWRITE C/R FOR CODIFICATION€¦ · The latest amendment is mentioned in the footnote. (For Accession Acts, see below (I)(14) “How_to_cite_Accession_Acts”)

9 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

(a) Each draft codification embraces the basic act up to its latest amendment. All those acts must be mentioned in the standard technical annex as repealed acts. Repeal must be restricted to that part of the said acts which concerns the basic act being codified. Amendments which amend various acts at once must not be repealed completely but solely the part relating to the basic act, e.g. (this applies only to the standard technical annex)

For English: Directive 99/17/EC, Article 1 only or even

Directive 99/17/EC, only as regards the reference(s) to Directive 73/23/EEC in point (4) of Article 1(1).

excluding a provision from the repeal:

Directive 73/23/EEC, except Article 6 (see below)

En français: Directive 99/17/CE, uniquement l'article 1er ou

Directive 99/17/CE, uniquement en ce qui concerne les références faites à l'article 1er, paragraphe 1, point 4, à la directive 73/23/CEE

l'exclusion d'une disposition de l'abrogation:

Directive 73/23/CEE, à l'exception de l'article 6

(b) Accession Acts: Accession Acts will not be repealed by the CG. Nevertheless, in order to have all information about the amending acts the Accession Acts are equally mentioned in the list together with the exact reference of the amending parts to the text codifiedFor example:

EN: Point I.A.13 of Annex II to the 2003 Act of Accession (OJ L 236, 23.9.2003, p. 57)

FR.: Point I.A.13 de l'annexe II de l'acte d'adhésion de 2003 (JO L 236 du 23.9.2003, p. 57)

Note: See below point (I)(14) “How_to_cite_Accession_Acts”!

See also in the annex to this guideline: (2) Example of a draft

(c) Acts not to be mentioned in the list of repealed acts:

(i) Corrigenda (though they appear in the reference box!)

(ii) Implementing acts

(iii) Derogations

(8) FRONT PAGE: On the front page (= the page prior to the Explanatory Memorandum – see above “(4) Structure of a document:“) LW-codification signs must not be used. The front page presents a “clean and final” version with all necessary corrections, so final title, no deleted act-number etc. But after “Brussels,” no date and no line “Sous-titre objet” with the statement regarding EEA relevance!

(9) STYLES ON THE FIRST PAGE AFTER THE EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM:

Page 10: PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR USING LEGISWRITE C/R FOR CODIFICATION€¦ · The latest amendment is mentioned in the footnote. (For Accession Acts, see below (I)(14) “How_to_cite_Accession_Acts”)

10 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

(a) “Type du document”, “Institution qui agit” and introductory phrase The proper and correct styles of “Type du document” and “Institution qui agit”.

So, CG does not indicate a divergence from the basic version at all. The various style-types mentioned above are indicated at "Different sections with its various types and styles in each line".

(b) In the first citation: CG must use the correct, updated wording but must indicate any change in the legal basis (whether by renumbering or otherwise), e.g. “Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 100a⌦ 95 ⌫ thereof,”.

(c) Style of the title of the codified act:

(i) In the line “Titre objet”:

if there is an amendment to the title, the amended parts are indicated (e.g. Codification Group Decision “on technical means to optimise codification 1 by daily group meetings ”).

if CG “adapts” this title because of codification (e.g. a part has become obsolete: Decision “on technical means to optimise codification 1 by daily group meetings “) CG must indicate it by the adaptation signs, the arrows (⌦ ⌫)/double-strike-through.

(ii) In the first standard recital (and also in “Memorandum to Commission” and “Explanatory Memorandum”):

CG needs to distinguish between change by amendment and change by codification.

In the case of an amendment of the title, CG indicates the title as it is in the amended version (without using any signs).

In case of intervention because of codification, CG gives the original – unadapted – title.

For an example, see below in the annex to this guideline: (2) Example of a draft.

(10) THE MASTERCOPY ELABORATED BY THE CODIFICATION GROUP: The mastercopy is the basic text from which the subcontractor creates all official language versions. As CG has to consider not only the content but also the styles the subcontractor is obliged to follow the presentation by the CG. Adaptations and changes to the mastercopy in the other language versions or in the mastercopy itself may be done only after consulting the person responsible in CG for the mastercopy in question.

(11) COMMENTS ON THE MASTERCOPY: Comments must not be given in the body of the text of the mastercopy but CG will give them on a separate sheet. In principle, there will not be so many cases in which CG needs to give comments. One case is regarding changes in the text presented in the form of an image, and another case is re-ordering tables according to the correct order regarding the Protocol/ISO.

(12) THE LW-CODIFICATION SIGNS:

Page 11: PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR USING LEGISWRITE C/R FOR CODIFICATION€¦ · The latest amendment is mentioned in the footnote. (For Accession Acts, see below (I)(14) “How_to_cite_Accession_Acts”)

11 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

: vertical arrow pointing downwards; must be used in the reference box for text consisting of a complete paragraph (including points, indents etc.) or larger portion of the text; it is used in relation to the basic act, amending act or the codification process (e.g. insertion of the standard parts).

: vertical arrow pointing upwards; this is used in the reference box only after the section break at the beginning of the standard technical annexes; it is placed only once at the start of the standard technical annexes.

1: horizontal arrow; indicates solely legislative amendment or corrigendum and only within a paragraph. ⌦ ⌫: “Insert Adaptation Markers”, must be used to indicate an intervention in the text by CG in the form of an insertion; can be used for one paragraph and no more; if the adaptation relates to several paragraphs, each paragraph must be marked. Attention: they must be used always on the entire word, never on single letters forming part of a word!

deleted: “Adaptation Delete”, double-strike-through; must be used to indicate an intervention in the text by CG in the form of a deletion; can be used for one paragraph and no more; if the deletion relates to several paragraphs, each paragraph must be marked.

double-underlined: Insert markers "minor change added" for minor changes; must be used to indicate a minor change (which is not an adaptation) in the text by CG in the form of an insertion; can be used for one paragraph and no more; if the change relates to several paragraphs, each paragraph must be marked.

double-strike-through-double-underlined: Delete markers " minor change delete" for minor changes; must be used to indicate a minor change (which is not an adaptation) in the text by CG in the form of a deletion; can be used for one paragraph and no more; if the change relates to several paragraphs, each paragraph must be marked.

Remark: In a codification mastercopy no signs other than the above may appear!

(13) THE VARIOUS LW-DOCUMENTS: LW offers 3 types of documents for codification:

(i) Document officiel (Actes autonomes) = C-documents

(ii) Document officiel (Proposition aux autres institutions) = COM-documents

(iii) Document interne (Proposition aux autres institutions) = Memorandum to the Commission

If the structure check is run the type of document can be seen at the top of the structure tree.

Why is it important to know the type of the document? Each document has its specifications, e.g. if an “Explanatory Memorandum” is inserted in a “Document officiel (Actes autonomes) = C-documents” the structure check encounters an error as in a C-document there is no “Explanatory Memorandum” ever!

For the same reason, a “Memorandum to the Commission” can be created only via “Document interne” as the structure check accepts the correct style for a “Memorandum to the Commission” (= “Communication titre”) only in this document type.

20 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

((VV II )) DD EE LL EE TT II OO NN SS :: In consolidated texts deletions (due to an amendment) are already made and must not be reinserted to show the deletions with the codification signs! If a later amendment requires the deletion of text or if an amendment is not properly incorporated in the consolidated version received by the CG, the text in question must be removed completely, so that it is no longer visible. This simply amounts to the CG taking over the role of OPOCE in preparing the consolidated version as the basis for the work of the CG. So, a text deleted by an amendment disappears in the consolidated version without any trace!

(1) DELETING A WORD OR SENTENCE BECAUSE OF AN AMENDMENT: The text in question has to be deleted, leaving no trace! (in the following example the words “management” and “investment” have been deleted. Nothing is visible in the text and even references to the amending act do not appear in the reference box!)

2010/17/EC

Article 17

The competent authorities may not authorise a UCITS if the company or the company do not comply with the preconditions laid down in this Directive, in Sections III and V respectively.

(2) DELETING A PARAGRAPH BECAUSE OF AN AMENDMENT: The whole paragraph must be deleted and neither reference to the amendment nor any link to the deleted text will be visible! So, there is no need even to insert the CR-separator and the reference box. Solely the reference to the basic act and paragraph 1, which is renumbered, is displayed. The former second paragraph of the article disappears. The paragraph numbering has to be adapted with the minor change markers (double-underlined/double-strike-through-double-underlined)

2010/17/EC (adapted)

Article 17

1. No UCITS shall carry on activities as such unless it has been authorized by the competent authorities of the Member State in which it is situated, hereinafter referred to as «the competent authorities».

(3) DELETING AN ARTICLE BECAUSE OF AMENDMENT: The rule mentioned in the preceding point (2) applies. The complete article disappears and no trace is left.

(4) DELETING TEXT AS A RESULT OF THE PROCESS OF CODIFICATION (FOR EXAMPLE, ON GROUNDS OF OBSOLESCENCE):

(a) Deletion of a part of an article:

Page 21: PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR USING LEGISWRITE C/R FOR CODIFICATION€¦ · The latest amendment is mentioned in the footnote. (For Accession Acts, see below (I)(14) “How_to_cite_Accession_Acts”)

21 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

As regards parts of articles, a distinction must be made between the 2 stages in the preparation of the mastercopy prior to submission to the legislative authority. This applies only to deletions of an article or parts of an article on codification grounds and not because of amendment and not regarding insertions:

(i) Prior to finalisation by the pool: CG shows in the body of the text the deleted parts with the double-strike-through to ease the work of the DG, juriste du fond, Legal Revisers and last but not least for the subcontractor, so that they can give their comments and do the necessary changes properly. The following is an example of the deletion of 2 paragraphs in an article consisting of 3 paragraphs (the adaptation marker cannot be used for more than 1 paragraph at once, so paragraph by paragraph has to be marked!):

2010/17/EC (adapted)

Article 17

1. No UCITS shall carry on activities as such unless it has been authorized by the competent authorities of the Member State in which it is situated, hereinafter referred to as «the competent authorities».

Such authorization shall be valid for all Member States.

2. A unit trust shall be authorized only if the competent authorities have approved the management company, the fund rules and the choice of depositary. An investment company shall be authorized only if the competent authorities have approved both its instruments of incorporation and the choice of depositary.

3. The competent authorities may not authorise a UCITS if the management company or the investment company do not comply with the preconditions laid down in this Directive, in Sections III and V respectively.

(ii) The finalisation by the pool after full revision: The Legal Revisers are responsible for the finalisation of the texts by the pool. The reviser responsible for the language version in question checks if the text received back from the pool contains all corrections. With regard to accepting the markers, the following cases must be distinguished:

(a) The Mastercopy: CG will receive the mastercopy after its finalisation from the pool containing all markers. CG is responsible for accepting all the minor change markers and all double-strike-through before sending it to the other institutions.

(b) The other language versions (non-mastercopy-texts): After completion of full revision all minor change markers and double-strike-through in the body of the text are removed by the pool during finalisation. Thus, a non-mastercopy-text received from the pool contains no double-strike-through at all. It will contain only the arrows (⌦ ⌫). But to show the adaptation, namely the intervention of CG in the form of a deletion, CG has to mark that text part in the reference box as “(adapted)” or “(adapté)”! So, in the case of a non-mastercopy text, the final draft of the example given above should look as follows:

Page 22: PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR USING LEGISWRITE C/R FOR CODIFICATION€¦ · The latest amendment is mentioned in the footnote. (For Accession Acts, see below (I)(14) “How_to_cite_Accession_Acts”)

22 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

2010/17/EC (adapted)

Article 17

The competent authorities may not authorise a UCITS if the management company or the investment company do not comply with the preconditions laid down in this Directive, in Sections III and V respectively.

(b) Deletion of an article in its entirety: When deleting an article in its entirety a distinction must also be made between the 2 stages in the preparation of the mastercopy:

(i) Prior to finalisation by the pool: The deleted article is shown with the double-strike-through and a reference box inserted to facilitate the work of the DG, juriste du fond, Legal Revisers and for the subcontractor, in commenting and making the correct changes.

Example:

2010/17/EC (adapted)

Article 17

The competent authorities may not authorise a UCITS if the management company or the investment company do not comply with the preconditions laid down in this Directive, in Sections III and V respectively.

(ii) Finalisation of the text by the pool after full revision: The Legal Revisers are responsible for the finalisation of the texts by the pool. The reviser responsible for the language version in question checks if the text received back from the pool contains all corrections. With regard to accepting the markers, the following cases must be distinguished:

(a) The Mastercopy: CG will receive the mastercopy after its finalisation from the pool containing all markers. CG is responsible for accepting all the minor change markers and all double-strike-through before sending it to the other institutions.

(b) The other language versions (non-mastercopy-texts): As CG instructs the Legal Revisers/pool to remove all minor change markers and double-strike-through in the body text the deleted article must also be removed including its reference box and the CR-separator. Thus, a non-mastercopy-text received from the pool should never contain any completely deleted article.

The reader can trace the missing provision by consulting the correlation table and the renumbering of the subsequent articles will be evident to the reader.

((VV IIII )) RR EE CC II TT AA LL SS :: This applies only to the recitals.

Page 23: PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR USING LEGISWRITE C/R FOR CODIFICATION€¦ · The latest amendment is mentioned in the footnote. (For Accession Acts, see below (I)(14) “How_to_cite_Accession_Acts”)

23 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

Irrelevant recitals of an amending act must not appear in the mastercopy of CG!

As regards recitals, a distinction must be made between the 3 stages of the preparation of the mastercopy prior to submission to the other institutions:

(1) FOR PRE-REVISION: At this stage CG shows both the relevant and irrelevant recitals of the basic act. The intervention of CG in the text must be shown by using the arrows (⌦ ⌫)/double-strike-through. Irrelevant recitals of the amending act do not appear at all; only those CG considers as relevant, will be inserted! CG does this to facilitate the work of the DG, juriste du fond and Legal Revisers, so that they can give their comments on the recitals selected.

(2) PRIOR TO FINALISATION BY THE POOL: After CG has received the comments made by the Legal Reviser in pre-revision CG deletes the irrelevant recitals completely from the mastercopy. The mastercopy sent to the subcontractor contains only the relevant recitals. The intervention of CG in the text of the relevant recitals must be indicated by using the arrows (⌦ ⌫)/double-strike-through, so that the subcontractor is able to see clearly the interventions of CG and make the necessary changes in the other languages.

(3) FINALISATION OF THE TEXT BY THE POOL AFTER FULL REVISION: The Legal Revisers are responsible for the finalisation of the texts by the pool. The reviser responsible for the language version in question checks if the text received back from the pool contains all corrections. With regard to accepting the markers, the following cases must be distinguished:

(a) The Mastercopy: CG will receive the mastercopy after its finalisation from the pool containing all markers. CG is responsible for accepting all the minor change markers and all double-strike-through before sending it to the other institutions.

(b) The other language versions (non-mastercopy-texts): After completion of full revision all minor change markers and double-strike-through in the body of the text are removed by the pool during finalisation. Thus, a non-mastercopy-text received from the pool contains no double-strike-through at all. It will contain only the arrows (⌦ ⌫).

Further points:

(a) There is no need to distinguish between deletion because the recital is obsolete, and deletion because the article to which the recital is linked was deleted.

(b) To delete a recital the adaptation markers (double-strike-through) have to be used. First, the style has to be changed from “considérant” to “manual considérant”, so that the subsequent recitals will be renumbered automatically. A reference box must be inserted, containing the original recital number, as the case may be.

(c) BUT: A recital, which is deleted in its entirety, will be kept in the codified draft only until the discussion with the DG, juriste du fond and the pre-revision is completed. Then, the recital together with its reference box must be deleted completely!

(4) MERGER OF RECITALS:

(a) Merger of entire recitals of the basic act (not mixed but one after the other):

Page 24: PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR USING LEGISWRITE C/R FOR CODIFICATION€¦ · The latest amendment is mentioned in the footnote. (For Accession Acts, see below (I)(14) “How_to_cite_Accession_Acts”)

24 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

The recitals will be merged without using any adaptation-signs, the arrows (⌦ ⌫)/double-strike-through; in the reference-box the recitals being merged are to be indicated, e.g.

2010/17/EC recitals 4 and 7

(1) The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured. The measures required for that purpose need to be adopted. With regard to their controls, tell-tales and indicators, in each Member State two- or three-wheel motor vehicles must display certain technical characteristics laid down by mandatory provisions which differ from one Member State to another. As a result of their differences, such provisions constitute a barrier to trade within the Community.

(b) Merger of recitals of the basic act, but only in part: In the final version of the mastercopy sent to the subcontractor, CG indicates the interventions of CG by using the arrows (⌦ ⌫)/double-strike-through, so that the subcontractor can see which changes CG has made and can change all language versions accordingly. In the reference-box CG indicates the merged recitals, e.g.

2010/17/EC recitals 3 (adapted) and 7 (adapted)

(1) The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured. The measures required for that purpose need to be adopted. ⌦ With regard to their controls, tell-tales and indicators, in each Member State two- or three-wheel motor vehicles must display certain technical characteristics laid down by mandatory provisions which differ from one Member State to another. ⌫ As a result of their differences, such provisions constitute a barrier to trade within the Community. Under existing Community legislation, Member States are free to organize and perform the aforementioned checks, verifications and inspections where they so wish but in practice they normally carry them out at their frontiers.

With regard to accepting of the markers, the following cases must be distinguished:

(a) The Mastercopy: CG will receive the mastercopy after its finalisation from the pool containing all markers. CG is responsible for accepting all the minor change markers and all double-strike-through before sending it to the other institutions.

(b) The other language versions (non-mastercopy-texts): After completion of full revision all minor change markers and double-strike-through in the body of the text are removed by the pool during finalisation. Thus, a non-mastercopy-text received from the pool contains no double-strike-through at all. It will contain only the arrows (⌦ ⌫).

2010/17/EC recitals 3 (adapted) and 7 (adapted)

(1) The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured. ⌦ With regard to their controls, tell-tales and indicators, in each Member State two- or three-wheel motor vehicles must display certain

25 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

technical characteristics laid down by mandatory provisions which differ from one Member State to another. ⌫ Under existing Community legislation, Member States are free to organize and perform the aforementioned checks, verifications and inspections where they so wish but in practice they normally carry them out at their frontiers.

The word "(adapted)" must be placed close to that part which is actually changed. So, if recital 3 only is changed "(adapted)" appears only next to recital 3, if only recital 7 then only next to 7 and if both are changed it must appear twice next to both (3 and 7)!

(c) Merger of recitals of the basic act and of an amending act: In the reference box CG needs to identify unambiguously the different recitals together with the act from which they come. CG uses the arrows (⌦ ⌫) to indicate the inserted part(s) of the amendment. The irrelevant part of the amendment does not appear at all in the mastercopy. Interventions in the part retained have to be indicated by using the arrows (⌦ ⌫)/double-strike-through. The same rule as in point b) applies i.e. with regard to the text sent to the subcontractor and the instruction to the pool to distinguish between the C-documents and the mastercopy/other language versions of COM-documents. E.g. for non-mastercopy-texts

2010/17/EC recital 1 (adapted) and 2011/25/EC recital 5 (adapted)

(1) The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured. The measures required for that purpose need to be adopted. ⌦ With regard to their controls, tell-tales and indicators, in each Member State two- ⌫ or three- ⌦ wheel motor vehicles must display certain technical characteristics laid down by mandatory provisions which differ from one Member State to another. ⌫ Under existing Community legislation, Member States are free to organize and perform the aforementioned checks, verifications and inspections where they so wish but in practice they normally carry them out at their frontiers.

(d) Mixing up of recitals: The more you mix recitals in merging them the more you have to use the arrows (⌦ ⌫)/double-strike-through! If the mixture of several recitals is rather a new recital then the arrows (⌦ ⌫) must be put at the beginning and at the end of the merged recital.

((VV IIII II )) RR EE NN UU MM BB EE RR II NN GG // MM OO VV EE OO FF TT EE XX TT :: Remember: At the end of a section containing adaptations a new reference box without “(adapted)” has to be inserted, so that the adaptation-reference is as close as possible to the text part which has been adapted.

(1) RENUMBERING OF ARTICLES AND ANNEXES TO AN ACT:

(a) OTHER than as a result of an amending act: a change in numbering is always indicated in the same way by the minor change markers. E.g.:

Page 26: PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR USING LEGISWRITE C/R FOR CODIFICATION€¦ · The latest amendment is mentioned in the footnote. (For Accession Acts, see below (I)(14) “How_to_cite_Accession_Acts”)

26 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

2010/17/EC

Article 1718

The competent authorities may not authorise a UCITS if the management company or the investment company do not comply with the preconditions laid down in this Directive, in Sections III and V respectively.

So, the reference box contains only the reference to the act. The previous number is marked as deleted by the minor change deleted marker (double-strike-through-double-underlined). The new number is marked as added by the minor change added marker (double-underlined). Another trace can be found in the correlation table. See also above (6) Use of the “adaptation”-buttons (the arrows/double-strike-through) and the "Minor change markers" (double-underlined/double-strike-through-double-underlined)!

(b) As a result of an amendment: A change in numbering of an article or annex to an act which was inserted by an amendment (e.g. Article 1bis or Annex IA): the same rule as to point (a) applies. E.g. renumbering of:

2011/25/EC Art. 1 pt. 2

Article 1bis2

The competent authorities may not authorise a UCITS if the management company or the investment company do not comply with the preconditions laid down in this Directive, in Sections III and V respectively.

(2) RENUMBERING OF PARAGRAPHS, POINTS ETC. AND ADAPTED CROSS-REFERENCES: If a paragraph, etc. is numbered for the first time, is renumbered or its numbering is deleted, this must also be indicated by minor change markers (double-underlined/double-strike-through-double-underlined).

(3) MOVING AND DISPLACING OF TEXT IN THE ACT IN THE COURSE OF CODIFICATION: (a) If text of the basic act or of an amendment in the act is moved in the course of codification

this will be indicated as follows:

the displacement of parts of the basic act will be indicated in the reference box with “basic act reference (i.e. 2010/17/EC)” + “original place (i.e. Art. 5(3))”;

the displacement of parts of text resulting from an amendment: only the reference to the amendment will be indicated in the reference box (i.e. 2011/25/EC Art. 1 pt. 2);

the insertion of the text will not be indicated as it is not an adaptation; in the case of renumbering the sole indication is that described in (1) and (2) above;

in general, the deletion of the text will not be indicated, which means that the text will disappear from the act; there might be cases where it seems appropriate to indicate the

deletion for a clear understanding of the displacement (it has to be done with the minor change markers as it is no adaptation!). This must be decided on a case-by-case basis. One particular case is the displacement of text from an annex into the enacting terms as insertion and the deletion may well be separated by a large amount of text;

the displacement must be reflected in the correlation table!

(b) Splitting a large paragraph into several smaller subparagraphs:

the split must be reflected in the correlation table!

the original paragraph is not marked as deleted;

the part of the text which is left unchanged is not marked at all;

the seperated text parts will only be marked with the minor change insert markers directly in the final “subparagraph position”;

no extra reference box to indicate this split, e.g.:

original version:

Article 1

1. EC pattern approval shall be valid for 10 years. It may be extended for successive periods of 10 years; the number of instruments which may be manufactured in accordance with the approved pattern shall not be limited. EC pattern approvals granted on the basis of the provisions of this Directive and of a separate directive may not be extended after the date of the entry into force of any amendment to, or adaptation of, these Community provisions, in cases where such EC pattern approvals could not have been granted on the basis of these new provisions. When EC pattern approval isnot extended, this approval shall nevertheless continue to apply to EC instruments already in service. 2. … codified proposal:

(1) “REAL ADAPTATIONS”: In using the adaptation buttons (“Insert Adaptation Markers” = the arrows (⌦ ⌫) and “Adaptation Delete” = double-strike-through) the word “(adapted)” or “(adapté)” will be inserted automatically. This function cannot be used for part of the text greater than a single paragraph. To mark more than one paragraph each has to be selected in turn and the markers indicated.

E.G. interventions by CG in the form of additions and deletions:

(a) Insertion of an adaptation:

2010/17/EC (adapted)

Article 18

The competent authorities may not authorise a UCITS if the ⌦ management ⌫ company or the investment company do not comply with the preconditions laid down in this Directive, in Sections III and V respectively.

(b) Deletion and insertion of an adaptation:

2010/17/EC (adapted)

Article 18

A unit trust shall be authorized only if the right ⌦ competent ⌫ authorities have approved the management company, the fund rules and the choice of depositary. An investment company shall be authorized only if the right ⌦ competent ⌫ authorities have approved both its instruments of incorporation and the choice of depositary.

(2) MINOR CHANGES:

(a) Insertion of a minor change:

The competent authorities may not authorise a UCITS if the management company or the investment company do not comply with the preconditions laid down in Annex I.

(b) Deletion and insertion of a minor change:

Article 18

A unit trust shall be authorized only if the right competent authorities have approved the management company, the fund rules and the choice of depositary. An investment company shall be authorized only if the right competent authorities have approved both its instruments of incorporation and the choice of depositary.

(c) Treatment of the minor change-Markers: The markers may be visible only in the draft until full revision. This means they must not appear anymore in the draft submitted to the other institutions. Consequently, they must be removed when the draft is finalised after full revision.

With regard to accepting the markers, the following cases must be distinguished: (a) The Mastercopy:

CG will receive the mastercopy after its finalisation from the pool containing all markers. CG is responsible for accepting all minor change markers before sending it to the other institutions.

(b) The other language versions (non-mastercopy-texts): After completion of full revision all minor change markers in the body of the text are removed by the pool during finalisation. Thus, a non-mastercopy-text received from the pool contains no minor change markers at al, e.g.

2010/17/EC

Article 18

A unit trust shall be authorized only if the competent authorities have approved the management company, the fund rules and the choice of depositary. An investment company shall be authorized only if the competent authorities have approved both its instruments of incorporation and the choice of depositary.

To accept all minor changes it is necessary to click on the field “Find” in the left upper corner in the LW-bar;

then click on the button on the right “Accept All” .

The following options appear: “Accept All CR Features” and “Accept All Minor Changes”. With a click on “Accept All Minor Changes” all minor change markers are adapted and no longer visible in the text.

(a) “Ctrl + q”: applies the settings of the style which can be seen in the left-hand margin. This is particularly useful to correct “modified margin”-errors. Mark the part of the text containing the error and press the shortcut. Now, the style applies properly to the marked text; so the error is corrected.

(b) “Ctrl + space-bar”: applies the correct font of the style given in the left-hand margin. This is useful to correct “unknown font”-errors and in particular to undo “adaptation-delete” and to return a word to “normal”. BUT note: A marked footnote number (which is smaller and superscripted, like that 1) also changes back to a “normal” style (like this 1). To correct, mark the number (here: 1), go to menu-bar and click on “Format” and choose “Font”. In the middle part there are 11 boxes. Enable “Superscript” by clicking on it. It now appears as . Click “OK”. This method has to be chosen both for the “footnote number” in the text as well as for the “number” in the footnote-text.

((XX II )) GG EE NN EE RR AA LL RR UU LL EE SS :: (1) With regard to the responsibility for the removal of the different markers the following

distinctions must be made:

(a) The Mastercopy:

CG will receive the mastercopy after its finalisation from the pool containing all markers. CG is responsible for the appropriate acceptations of all the minor change markers and all double-strike-through before sending it to the other institutions.

Thus, the responsibility for the mastercopy fully remains with the CG!

(b) The other versions (non-mastercopy-texts):

After completion of the full revision all double-strike-through and all minor change markers in the body of the text are removed by the pool while finalizing.

Thus, the responsibility for all non-mastercopy-texts remains with the pool/Legal Revisers!

(2) Commission decisions must be sent twice to SecGen, a “clean” version plus a version containing the markers as those decisions have to be notified to the Member States. For the preparation of a “clean” version CG only is responsible.

(3) For all other documents only one version must be sent to SecGen. All minor change markers and double-strike-through must be removed from the text. For the mastercopy the CG alone is responsible for the correct removal of those markers; for all other versions the pool/Legal Revisers are solely responsible for the correct removal!

(4) In all texts sent to SecGen deleted articles can be traced only by means of the correlation table and (perhaps) by the renumbering of subsequent articles.

(5) Prior to preparation of the 23 language versions by the subcontractor an obsolete recital disappears from the draft without any trace!

31 / 81 General Invitation to Tender No. 10015 Codification – Annex 6.10

(6) Reference boxes indicating an adaptation must be put as close as possible to the part of the text containing the adaptation.

(7) Renumbering is indicated by using the minor change markers!

(8) In the case of a change of sub-sections, such as indents into points, the punctuation at the end (such as (,) or (;)) must be checked and adapted accordingly by using the minor change markers.

Example: A Council Directive (2010/17/EC) which was amended once (2011/25/EC); the title is amended and is partly obsolete; the act changed from “Council” to “European Parliament and Council”. The various “Section Breaks” and “Page Breaks” have been deleted, so that the document can be displayed in a more reader-friendly way, and reference is simply made to the type of “Break” to be expected in the document (like: “Section Break”). Comments are highlighted. Attention must be paid to the following:

the “Front Page” is a “clean” page where everything appears as it has to be in the final draft to be published!

On the first page, after the “Explanatory Memorandum”, changes and corrections may be made only on the following lines:

1) title in the line “Titre objet”

2) solely the article number below the line “Institution qui agit”

3) “Having regard to …”: all lines directly in the final way and no deletions, except the line with the citation of the legal basis (“Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 100 ⌦ 95 ⌫ thereof,…”)

All other lines must be given in the “final” and “clean” way. This means no indication of changes or corrections in the following lines:

c) “Sous-titre objet”

d) “Institution qui agit” and the following phrase except the article-number

In French: - in general commas to separate the different sections - always article 1er for the first article

independent of the language: the left-hand column must be in numerical order!
