table>(1)For certain acts which remain valid beyond 1 May 2004 and require adaptation by reason of accession, the necessary adaptations were not provided for in the Act of Accession, or were provided for but need further adaptation. All these adaptations need to be adopted before accession so as to be applicable as from accession.

(2)	Pursuant to Article 57(2) of the Act of Accession, such adaptations are to be adopted by the Council in all cases where the Council alone or jointly with the European Parliament adopted the original act.

(3)	Directives 1999/45/EC (3), 2002/83/EC (4), 2003/37/EC (5) and 2003/59/EC (6) of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Directives 77/388/EEC (7), 91/414/EEC (8), 96/26/EC (9), 2003/48/EC (10) and 2003/49/EC (11) should therefore be amended accordingly,
