THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 42, Article 43(2) and Article 114 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(1),

(2) The following legal acts relating to the common agricultural policy have become obsolete, even though formally they are still in force:

— Council Regulation (EC) No 320/2006(5). The temporary scheme established by that Regulation was applicable only until the marketing year 2009/2010.
