No L 26/18 Official Journal of the European Communities 3.2.93 (Acts whose publication is not obligatory) COMMISSION COMMISSION DECISION of 23 December 1992 on the setting-up of an Advisory Committee for coordination in the Internal Market field ’ (93/72/EEC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Whereas Article 8a of the Treaty establishing the Euro- pean Economic Community provides for the progressive establishment over a period expiring on 31 December 1992 on the Internal Market comprising an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured ; Whereas the Council has already adopted some measures, in order to deal with possible practical problems which may arise after the abolition of these border controls ; whereas the Member States themselves have also taken some measures ; Whereas the achievement of the Internal Market as an area without internal borders requires close and efficient cooperation between the Member States and the Commis- sion ; Whereas the Council’s Resolution of 7 December 1992 on making the Single Market work invites the Member States and the Commission to consider the need for strengthened cooperation to solve any practical problems which may. arise ; Whereas existing Community measures in some sectors already provide arrangements to the Commission and/or exchange information between the Member States and the Commission ; Whereas these obligations for notification and these systems for the exchange of information do not cover all the sectors in which a close and efficient cooperation between the Member States and the Commission is neces- sary on completion of the Internal Market in order to resolve possible practical problems especially in its early stages ; Whereas it is therefore desirable for the Commission to be advised by a committee of representatives of Member States on matters which require close and efficient coope- ration to deal with practical problems requiring urgent attention, HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: Article 1 1. There shall be attached to the Commission and Advisory Committee for coordination in the Internal Market field, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Committee’. 2. The Committee shall comprise two representatives of each Member State and be chaired by a representative of the Commission. Article 2 1. The Committee may be consulted by the Commis- sion on any practical problem which may arise after 1 January 1993 concerning the functioning of the Internal Market other than those which are covered by action taken in accordance with arrangements to notify to the Commission and/or exchange information between the Member States and the Commission, laid down in any other applicable Community measure or established within an existing framework for practical cooperation between the Commission and the Member States.
