The Commission has carried out several exercises to remove obsolete legislation from the acquis , partly trough the traditional repeal procedure, partly by declaring the relevant Commission acts obsolete. The Commission also identified a number of Council acts related to the Common Agricultural Policy, but which are based upon Article 207 of the Treaty (former Article 133), which have exhausted all practical effects, but are formally still in force. It is not within the Commission's powers to declare obsolete acts which were adopted by the Council. In the interest of legal certainty, the Commission suggests that the acts listed in this proposal shall be repealed by the Council and the European Parliament.
