75As for the argument that it is necessary to take into consideration the preliminary nature of the ongoing discussions so as to assess the seriousness of the risk associated with the reduction of the delegations’ room for manœuvre (see paragraph 44 above), it cannot actually be denied that the proposals in question were made at the beginning of a legislative process which is still ongoing. The Commission’s proposal for a regulation is dated 30 April 2008 and the proposals for amendment or re-drafting were communicated at the meeting of the Council Working Group on 25 November 2008. The discussions relating to those proposals are not closed and, in any event, the Council has not adopted a decision on the issues covered.
