It should however be noted that insofar as they do not contradict the legislative act concerned and they are made public (as provided for in Article 151(3) of the EC Treaty as it will be amended by the Amsterdam Treaty), such interpretative statements adopted by the Community legislator are compatible with Community law.
Treba pa je opozoriti, da so te razlage, ki jih sprejme pristojna institucija Skupnosti, kolikor ne nasprotujejo zadevnemu pravnemu aktu in so javno objavljene (kot je predvideno v členu 151(3) Pogodbe ES, kot bo spremenjena z Amsterdamsko pogodbo), združljive s pravom Skupnosti.
