The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation and certain amendments
to it should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999
laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the
Commission1.
(124) In particular, power should be conferred on the Commission to amend the Annexes in
certain cases, to set rules on test methods, to vary the percentage of dossiers selected for
compliance checking and to modify the criteria for their selection, and to set the criteria
defining what constitutes adequate justification that testing is technically not possible.
Since these measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential
elements of this Regulation or supplement this Regulation by adding new non-essential
elements thereto, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with
scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
