What's new?

The Treaty of Lisbon (OJ C 306, 17/12/2007), amending the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community signed by the twenty seven member states under the general provisions that ‘The Union shall be founded on the present Treaty and on the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (hereinafter referred to as "the Treaties"). Those two Treaties shall have the same legal value. The Union shall replace and succeed the European Community.’

As of January 2010, the Community Reference Laboratory for Feed Additives therefore becomes the

European Union Reference laboratory for Feed Additives, EURL-FA (former CRL-FA)

As explained in "Your Guide to the Lisbon Treaty" (cf. "Some technical terms")
"The Lisbon Treaty amends the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community. It is the latest in a series of treaties updating and consolidating the EU’s legal base.
The EU will be given a single legal personality under the Lisbon Treaty.
Currently, the European Community and the European Union have different statutes and do not operate the same decision-making rules. The Lisbon Treaty will end this dual system and the European Union will have its own legal personality.
This change will improve the EU’s ability to act, especially in external affairs. The Lisbon Treaty will allow the EU to act more effectively, coherently and credibly in its relations with the rest of the world."
