(4)The Commission should be empowered to adopt the measures necessary for the implementation of Directive 85/611/EEC by adopting technical amendments clarifying the definitions so as to ensure the uniform application of that Directive throughout the Community, and aligning terminology and framing definitions in accordance with subsequent acts on UCITS and related matters. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 85/611/EEC, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
