38In assessing the cogency of the argument that the European Parliament was not consulted a second time, it should be noted that a fresh consultation of the European Parliament is required whenever the text finally adopted, taken as a whole, differs in essence from the text on which the Parliament has already been consulted, except in cases where the amendments substantially correspond to the wishes of the Parliament itself (judgments in Case C-65/90 Parliament v Council [1992] ECR I-4593, paragraph 16, and Joined Cases C-13/92 to C-16/92 Driessen and Others v Minister van Verkeer en Waterstaat [1993] ECR I-4751, paragraph 23).
