The Commission therefore referred to its observations on the residence requirements.
The Commission used those reports in its work and publicly referred to them when it was essential.
The European Commission, however, does refer to the 2000 revision.
It is not enough that the Commission has repeatedly referred to the general reform programme.
There are legal cases to which the Commission refers.
However, in its declarations, the Commission refers solely to that one.
The Commission usually refers to these goals as 'better regulation' or 'better law making'.
This is a bad start to an attempt to establish the culture of compliance to which the Commission so often refers.
While the Commission has referred to the 2003 regulation, it is simply not working.
I therefore ask the Commission to refer to them in its final version as people, not things!
