Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the initiative of the Slovak Republic [2],

Whereas:

(3) On 29 November 2005 the French Republic notified the Commission, pursuant to Article 45 of Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000, of amendments to the lists set out in Annexes A and C to that Regulation.
