DIRECTIVE (EU) 2021/2101 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 24 November 2021

amending Directive 2013/34/EU as regards disclosure of income tax information by certain undertakings and branches

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 50(1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),

Whereas:

| (1) | Transparency is essential for the smooth functioning of the internal market. The Commission, in its communications of 27 October 2015 entitled ‘Commission Work Programme 2016 – No time for business as usual’ and of 16 December 2014 entitled ‘Commission Work Programme 2015 – A New Start’, identified as a priority the need to respond to the call of citizens of the Union for fairness and transparency and the need for the Union to act as a global reference model. It is essential that the efforts to achieve greater transparency take into account reciprocity between competitors. |

Transparency is essential for the smooth functioning of the internal market. The Commission, in its communications of 27 October 2015 entitled ‘Commission Work Programme 2016 – No time for business as usual’ and of 16 December 2014 entitled ‘Commission Work Programme 2015 – A New Start’, identified as a priority the need to respond to the call of citizens of the Union for fairness and transparency and the need for the Union to act as a global reference model. It is essential that the efforts to achieve greater transparency take into account reciprocity between competitors.

| (2) | In its resolution of 26 March 2019 (3), the European Parliament stressed the need for ambitious public country-by-country reporting as a tool for increasing corporate transparency and enhancing public scrutiny. In parallel with the work undertaken by the Council to fight corporate income tax avoidance, it is necessary to enhance public scrutiny of corporate income taxes borne by multinational undertakings carrying out activities in the Union, in order to further foster corporate transparency and responsibility, thereby contributing to the welfare of our societies. Providing for such scrutiny is also necessary to promote a better-informed public debate regarding, in particular, the level of tax compliance of certain multinational undertakings active in the Union and the impact of tax compliance on the real economy. The setting of common rules on corporate income tax transparency would also serve the general economic interest by providing for equivalent safeguards throughout the Union for the protection of investors, creditors and other third parties generally, and thus contribute to regaining the trust of citizens of the Union in the fairness of national tax systems. Such public scrutiny can be achieved by means of a report on income tax information, irrespective of where the ultimate parent undertaking of the multinational group is established. |

| (3) | Public country-by-country reporting is an efficient and appropriate tool for increasing transparency in relation to the activities of multinational undertakings and for enabling the public to assess the impact of those activities on the real economy. It also improves shareholders’ ability to evaluate properly the risks taken by undertakings, leads to investment strategies being based on accurate information and enhances the ability of decision-makers to assess the efficiency and the impact of national legislation. Public scrutiny should be conducted without harming the investment climate in the Union or the competitiveness of Union undertakings, including small and medium-sized undertakings as provided for in Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). |

| (4) | Public country-by-country reporting is also likely to have a positive impact on employees’ rights to information and consultation as provided for in Directive 2002/14/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and, by increasing knowledge of undertakings’ activities, on the quality of the dialogue that takes place within undertakings. |

| (5) | Following the European Council conclusions of 22 May 2013, a review clause was introduced in Directive 2013/34/EU. That review clause required the Commission to consider the possibility of introducing an obligation on large undertakings in additional industry sectors to produce a country-by-country report on an annual basis, taking into account the developments in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the results of related European initiatives. |

| (8) | More transparency in financial disclosure will be advantageous for all, since civil society will become more involved, employees will be better informed and investors less risk-averse. In addition, undertakings will benefit from better relations with stakeholders, which will lead to greater stability, along with easier access to finance due to a clearer risk profile and an enhanced reputation. |

| (9) | In its communication of 25 October 2011 entitled ‘A renewed EU strategy 2011-14 for Corporate Social Responsibility’, the Commission defined corporate social responsibility as the responsibility of enterprises for their impact on society. Corporate social responsibility should be company-led. Public authorities can play a supporting role through a smart mix of voluntary policy measures and, where necessary, complementary regulation. Undertakings can go beyond compliance with the law and become socially responsible by integrating further social, environmental, ethical, consumer or human rights concerns into their business strategy and operations. |

| (10) | The public should be able to scrutinise all the activities of a group of undertakings if the group has certain types of entities established within the Union. For groups which carry out activities within the Union only through subsidiary undertakings or branches, those subsidiary undertakings and branches should publish and make accessible the report of the ultimate parent undertaking. If that information or report is not available or the ultimate parent undertaking does not provide the subsidiary undertakings or branches with all the required information, the subsidiary undertakings and branches should draw up, publish and make accessible a report on income tax information containing all information in their possession, obtained or acquired, and a statement indicating that their ultimate parent undertaking did not make the necessary information available. However, for reasons of proportionality and effectiveness, the obligation to publish and make accessible the report on income tax information should be limited to medium-sized and large subsidiary undertakings established in the Union and to branches of a comparable size opened in the Union. The scope of Directive 2013/34/EU should therefore be extended accordingly to branches opened in a Member State by an undertaking which is established outside the Union and which has a legal form which is comparable with the types of undertakings listed in Annex I to Directive 2013/34/EU. Branches that have been closed as referred to in Article 37, point (k), of Directive (EU) 2017/1132 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7) should no longer be subject to the reporting obligations set out in this Directive. |

| (11) | Multinational groups, and where relevant, certain standalone undertakings, should provide the public with a report on income tax information where they exceed a certain size, in terms of the amount of revenue, over a period of two consecutive financial years, depending on the consolidated revenue of the group or the revenue of the standalone undertaking. By way of symmetry, such obligation should cease to apply where those revenues cease to exceed the relevant amount over a period of two consecutive financial years. In such cases, the multinational group or the standalone undertaking should remain subject to the obligation to report on the first financial year subsequent to the last financial year when its revenues exceeded the relevant amount. Such multinational group or standalone undertaking should become subject to the reporting obligation again when its revenues again exceed the relevant amount over a period of two consecutive financial years. Given the wide array of financial reporting frameworks with which financial statements may comply, for the purposes of determining the scope of application, for undertakings governed by the law of a Member State, ‘revenue’ should have the same meaning as ‘net turnover’, and should be understood in line with the national financial reporting framework of that Member State. Article 43(2), point (c), of Council Directive 86/635/EEC (8) and Article 66(2) of Council Directive 91/674/EEC (9) provide definitions for the determination of the net turnover of a credit institution or of an insurance undertaking, respectively. For other undertakings, revenue should be assessed in accordance with the financial reporting framework on the basis of which their financial statements are prepared. However, for the purposes of the content of the report on income tax information, a different definition of revenue should apply. |

| (12) | In order to avoid double reporting for the banking sector, ultimate parent undertakings and standalone undertakings which are subject to Directive 2013/36/EU and which include in their report prepared in accordance with Article 89 of that Directive all of their activities and, where appropriate, all the activities of their affiliated undertakings included in their consolidated financial statements, including activities not subject to the provisions of Part Three, Title I, Chapter 2, of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (10), should be exempted from the reporting requirements set out in this Directive. |

| (13) | The report on income tax information should include, where applicable, a list of all the subsidiary undertakings, in respect of the relevant financial year, established in the Union or in tax jurisdictions included in Annex I and, where applicable, in Annex II to the relevant version of the Council conclusions on the revised EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes. In order to avoid creating an administrative burden, the ultimate parent undertaking should be able to rely on the list of subsidiary undertakings included in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent undertaking. The report on income tax information should also provide information concerning all the activities of all the affiliated undertakings of the group consolidated in the financial statements of the ultimate parent undertaking or, depending on the circumstances, concerning all the activities of the standalone undertaking. The information should be limited to what is necessary to make effective public scrutiny possible, in order to ensure that disclosure does not give rise to disproportionate risks or disadvantages for undertakings in terms of competitiveness or of misinterpretations regarding the undertakings concerned. The report on income tax information should be made accessible no later than 12 months after the balance sheet date. Any shorter periods for the publication of financial statements should not apply with regard to the report on income tax information. The provisions introduced by this Directive do not affect the provisions of Directive 2013/34/EU regarding annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements. |

The report on income tax information should specify which reporting framework was used.

| (15) | It is important to ensure that data are comparable. To that end, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to lay down a common template and electronic reporting formats, which should be machine-readable, for the presentation of the report on income tax information pursuant to this Directive. In laying down that template and those reporting formats, the Commission should have regard to progress made in the area of digitisation and accessibility of information published by undertakings, especially as regards the development of the European single access point as proposed in its communication of 24 September 2020 entitled ‘A Capital Markets Union for people and businesses – new action plan’. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (12). |

As the Court of Justice held, in particular, in Case C-97/96 Verband deutscher Daihatsu-Händler (14), Article 50(2), point (g), TFEU refers to the need to protect the interests of ‘others’ generally, without distinguishing or excluding any categories falling within the ambit of that term. Thus, the term ‘others’ is broader than investors and creditors, and extends to other interested third parties, including competitors and the general public. Moreover, the objective of attaining freedom of establishment, which is assigned in very broad terms to the institutions by Article 50(1) TFEU, cannot be circumscribed by the provisions of Article 50(2) TFEU. Given that this Directive only concerns obligations to publish reports on income tax information, and does not concern the harmonisation of taxes, Article 50(1) TFEU constitutes the appropriate legal basis. |

5.   The report on income tax information shall present the information referred to in paragraph 2 or 3 separately for each Member State. Where a Member State comprises several tax jurisdictions, the information shall be aggregated at Member State level.

The report on income tax information shall also present the information referred to in paragraph 2 or 3 of this Article separately for each tax jurisdiction which, on 1 March of the financial year for which the report is to be drawn up, is listed in Annex I to the Council conclusions on the revised EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes, and shall provide such information separately for each tax jurisdiction which, on 1 March of the financial year for which the report is to be drawn up and on 1 March of the preceding financial year, was mentioned in Annex II to the Council conclusions on the revised EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes.

Where the activities of several affiliated undertakings can be subject to income tax within a single tax jurisdiction, the information attributed to that tax jurisdiction shall represent the sum of the information relating to such activities of each affiliated undertaking and their branches in that tax jurisdiction.

Information on any particular activity shall not be attributed simultaneously to more than one tax jurisdiction.

6.   Member States may allow for one or more specific items of information otherwise required to be disclosed in accordance with paragraph 2 or 3 to be temporarily omitted from the report where their disclosure would be seriously prejudicial to the commercial position of the undertakings to which the report relates. Any omission shall be clearly indicated in the report together with a duly reasoned explanation regarding the reasons therefor.

Member States shall ensure that all information omitted pursuant to the first subparagraph is made public in a later report on income tax information, within no more than five years of the date of its original omission.

Those Member States may increase or decrease the thresholds by up to 5 % in order to produce a round sum in the national currencies.

The thresholds referred to in Article 48b(4) and (5) shall be converted to an equivalent amount in the national currency of any relevant third countries by applying the exchange rate as at 21 December 2021, rounded off to the nearest thousand.

4.   Any action taken pursuant to this Article shall fall under the exclusive responsibility of the Parties and shall be exclusively directed towards the other Party or to companies providing air transport services to/from the Parties. Such action shall not be subject to the dispute settlement procedure foreseen in Article 24.

8.   Each Party shall, at the request of the other Party, provide to the other Party within a reasonable time financial reports relating to the entities under the jurisdiction of the first Party, and any other such information that may be reasonably requested by the other Party to ensure that the provisions of this Article are being complied with.

After informing the other Party, a Party may also approach responsible government entities in the territory of the other Party, including entities at the central, regional, provincial or local level to discuss matters relating to this Article. Moreover, a Party may request consultations on this matter with the other Party with a view to solving the problem. Such consultations shall start within 30 days of the receipt of the request.

Where such constraints limit, prevent or preclude self-handling and where there is no effective competition between suppliers that provide ground handling services, the relevant Party shall ensure that all such services are available on both an equal and an adequate basis to all air carriers; prices of such services shall be determined according to relevant, objective, transparent and non-discriminatory criteria.

8.   Each supplier of ground handling services, whether an air carrier or not, shall have in relation to ground handling in the territory of the other Party the right to provide ground handling services for air carriers operating at the same airport, where authorised and consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

9.   Each Party shall ensure that its regulations, guidelines and procedures for allocation of slots at the airports in its territory are applied in an independent, transparent, effective, non-discriminatory and timely manner.

10.   Notification of operational plans, programmes or schedules for air services operated under this Agreement may be required by a Party for information purposes only in order to being able to verify that the rights granted under this Agreement are respected. If a Party requires such notification, it shall minimise the administrative burdens of notification requirements and procedures on air transport intermediaries and on air carriers of the other Party.

11.   Any air carrier of each Party may engage in the sale of air transport and related services in the territory of the other Party directly or, at the air carrier’s discretion, through its sales agents, other intermediaries appointed by the air carrier or through the internet or any other available channel. Each air carrier shall have the right to sell such transport and related services, and any person shall be free to purchase such transport and related services, in the currency of that territory or in freely convertible currencies.

12.   The air carriers of each Party shall be permitted to pay for local expenses, including purchases of fuel and payment of airport charges in the territory of the other Party in local currency. At their discretion, the air carriers of each Party may pay for such expenses in the territory of the other Party in freely convertible currencies at the market rate of exchange.

13.   Each air carrier shall have the right on demand to convert into freely convertible currencies and remit at any time, in any way, from the territory of the other Party to the country of its choice, local revenues. Conversion and remittance shall be permitted promptly without restrictions or taxation in respect thereof at the market rate of exchange applicable to current transactions and remittance on the date the air carrier makes the initial application for remittance and shall not be subject to any charges except those normally made by banks for carrying out such conversion and remittance.

14.   In operating or holding out services under this Agreement, any air carrier of a Party may enter into cooperative marketing arrangements, such as blocked-space or code-sharing arrangements, with:

(c)

any surface (land or maritime) transport provider of any country;

provided that (i) the operating carrier holds the appropriate traffic rights; (ii) the marketing carriers hold the appropriate underlying route rights; and (iii) the arrangements meet the requirements relating to safety and competition normally applied to such arrangements.

15.   In respect to the transport of passengers sold involving cooperative marketing arrangements, the purchaser shall be informed at the point of sale, or in any case at check-in, or before boarding where no check-in is required for a connecting flight, which transport providers will operate each sector of the service.

16.   In relation to the transport of passengers, surface transport providers shall not be subject to laws and regulations governing air transport on the sole basis that such surface transport is held out by an air carrier under its own name.

17.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, air carriers and indirect providers of cargo transport of the Parties shall be permitted, without restriction, to employ in connection with international air transport any surface transport for cargo to or from any points in the territories of the Parties, or in third countries, including transport to and from all airports internationally recognised with customs facilities, and including, where applicable, the right to transport cargo in bond under applicable laws and regulations. Such cargo, whether moving by surface or by air, shall have access to airport customs processing and facilities. Air carriers may elect to perform their own surface transport or to provide it through arrangements with other surface transport providers, including surface transport operated by other air carriers and indirect providers of cargo air transport. Such intermodal cargo services may be offered at a single, through price for the air and surface transport combined, provided that shippers are not misled as to the facts concerning such transport.

18.   The air carriers of each Party shall be entitled to enter into franchising or branding arrangements with companies, including air carriers, of either Party or third countries, provided that the air carriers hold the appropriate authority and meet the conditions prescribed under the laws and regulations normally applied by the Parties to such arrangements, particularly those requiring the disclosure of the identity of the air carrier operating the service.

| --- | --- |

(b)

any air carrier or carriers of a third country,

provided that all participants in such arrangements hold the appropriate authority and meet the conditions prescribed under the respective laws and regulations applied by the Parties to such arrangements. Neither Party shall require the air carrier providing the aircraft to hold traffic rights under this Agreement for the routes on which the aircraft will be operated. The Parties may require these arrangements to be approved by their competent authorities. Where a Party requires such approval, it shall minimise the administrative burdens for air carriers of the approval procedures.

Where not provided for in the regulatory requirements and standards relating to aviation security specified in Annex II, Part C, the Parties shall, in their mutual relations, act in conformity with the international aviation security standards and appropriate recommended practices established by ICAO. Both Parties shall require that operators of aircraft of their registry, operators who have their principal place of business or permanent residence in their territory, and the operators of airports in their territory, act in conformity with such aviation security provisions.

6.   Each Party shall ensure that effective measures are taken within its territory to protect civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference, including, but not limited to, screening of passengers and their cabin baggage, screening of hold baggage, screening and security controls for persons other than passengers, including crew, and their items carried, screening and security controls for cargo, mail, in-flight and airport supplies, and access control to airside and security restricted areas. Those measures shall be adjusted to meet increases in the threat to the security of civil aviation. Each Party agrees that their air carriers may be required to observe the aviation security provisions referred to in paragraphs 1 and 5 and other security provisions required by the other Party, for entrance into, departure from or while within the territory of that other Party.

7.   With full regard and mutual respect for each other’s sovereignty, a Party may adopt security measures for entry into its territory, as well as emergency measures, in order to meet a specific security threat, which should be communicated to the other Party without delay. Each Party shall give positive consideration to any request from the other Party for reasonable special security measures, and the first Party shall take into account the security measures already applied by the other Party and any views that the other Party may offer. Each Party recognises, however, that nothing in this Article limits the ability of a Party to refuse entry into its territory of any flight or flights that it deems to present a threat to its security. Except where not reasonably possible in case of emergency, each Party will inform the other Party in advance of any special security measures it intends to introduce which could have a significant financial or operational impact on the air transport services provided under this Agreement. Either Party may request a meeting of the Joint Committee to discuss such security measures, as provided for in Article 23.

8.   When an incident or threat of an incident of unlawful seizure of civil aircraft or other unlawful acts against the safety of such aircraft, their passengers and crew, airports or air navigation facilities occurs, the Parties shall assist each other by facilitating communications and other appropriate measures intended to terminate rapidly and safely such incident or threat.

9.   Each Party shall take all measures it finds practicable to ensure that an aircraft subjected to an act of unlawful seizure or other acts of unlawful interference which is on the ground in its territory is detained on the ground unless its departure is necessitated by the overriding duty to protect human life. Wherever practicable, such measures shall be taken on the basis of mutual consultations.

10.   When a Party has reasonable grounds to believe that the other Party has departed from the aviation security provisions of this Article, that Party shall request immediate consultations with the other Party. Such consultations shall start within 30 days of receipt of such request.

11.   Without prejudice to Article 5, failure to reach a satisfactory agreement within 30 days from the starting date of such consultations or such longer period as may be agreed shall constitute grounds to withhold, revoke, limit or impose conditions on the operating authorisation of one or more air carriers of such other Party.

12.   When required by an immediate and extraordinary threat, a Party may take immediate interim action.

13.   Any action taken in accordance with paragraph 11 shall be discontinued upon compliance by the other Party with the provisions of this Article.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Definition of the methodology

1.   The methodology for reporting social expenditure, including on children and the youth, and on gender equality under the Facility shall be based on the estimated expenditure provided in the approved recovery and resilience plans and on the steps set out in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4.

2.   Reforms and investments with a primary social dimension shall be associated to one of the nine social policy areas set out in the Annex. Each social policy area shall be linked to a broader social category. A reform or investment may only be associated to one social policy area, and therefore to one social category.

3.   Each measure of a social nature that includes a focus on children and the youth shall be flagged, allowing for a subsequent specific reporting on expenditure under the Facility on children and the youth.

4.   Each measure of a social nature that includes a focus on gender equality shall be flagged, allowing for a specific subsequent reporting on expenditure under the Facility on gender equality.

5.   The social policy areas and social categories, and the flags to identify measures of a social nature that include a focus on children and the youth, and on gender equality as referred to in paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 shall be those set out in the Annex.

6.   The Commission shall use this methodology in the annual report referred to in Article 31(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 to provide information on the social expenditure, including on children and the youth, and on gender equality financed by the Facility.

Article 2

Entry into force

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2021/2106

of 28 September 2021

on supplementing Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility by setting out the common indicators and the detailed elements of the recovery and resilience scoreboard

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2021 establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility (1), and in particular Articles 29(4), point (a) and 30(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | The aim of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (‘the Facility’) is to provide effective and significant financial support to step up the implementation of sustainable reforms and related public investments in the Member States. The Facility is a dedicated instrument designed to tackle the adverse effects and consequences of the COVID-19 crisis in the Union. |

(1)

The aim of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (‘the Facility’) is to provide effective and significant financial support to step up the implementation of sustainable reforms and related public investments in the Member States. The Facility is a dedicated instrument designed to tackle the adverse effects and consequences of the COVID-19 crisis in the Union.

| (2) | Pursuant to Article 29 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the implementation of the Facility is to be monitored and evaluated through common indicators. These indicators are to be used for reporting on progress and for the purpose of monitoring and evaluation of the Facility towards the achievement of the general and specific objectives referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241. Member States are to report to the Commission on the common indicators. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Pursuant to Article 29 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the implementation of the Facility is to be monitored and evaluated through common indicators. These indicators are to be used for reporting on progress and for the purpose of monitoring and evaluation of the Facility towards the achievement of the general and specific objectives referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241. Member States are to report to the Commission on the common indicators.

| (3) | Pursuant to Article 30 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the performance reporting system of the Facility is to take the shape of a recovery and resilience scoreboard (‘the Scoreboard’). The Scoreboard is to display the progress of the implementation of the recovery and resilience plans of the Member States in each of the six pillars of the scope of the Facility referred to in Article 3 of that Regulation, and in relation to the common indicators. The Scoreboard is to be made publicly available in the form of a website or internet portal and to be updated twice a year. |

The Scoreboard is to be made publicly available in the form of a website or internet portal and to be updated twice a year.

| (4) | Articles 29 and 30 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 are closely related, since the common indicators will form a significant part of the content of the Scoreboard, as provided by Article 30(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241. In order to ensure coherence between those provisions which should enter into force at the same time, to facilitate a comprehensive view of the reporting requirements for the Member States and to facilitate the application of that Regulation, it is necessary to include the provisions supplementing those Articles in a single Delegated Regulation. |

In order to ensure coherence between those provisions which should enter into force at the same time, to facilitate a comprehensive view of the reporting requirements for the Member States and to facilitate the application of that Regulation, it is necessary to include the provisions supplementing those Articles in a single Delegated Regulation.

| (5) | The Scoreboard aims at transparently providing synthetic information on progress with the implementation of the Facility and the national recovery and resilience plans as approved by means of the respective Council implementing decisions. It is to serve as a basis for the Recovery and Resilience Dialogue with the European Parliament referred to in Article 26 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241. |

| (7) | The list of common indicators in the Annex is designed to cover all recovery and resilience plans, but the reporting by a Member State on a specific common indicator is only relevant to the extent that there are corresponding measures in its plan. The non-relevance of a common indicator to a recovery and resilience plan should be discussed between the Commission and the Member State concerned. Given that each common indicator is generally relevant for a large majority of Member States, it is expected that each Member State should report on most indicators. |

Given that each common indicator is generally relevant for a large majority of Member States, it is expected that each Member State should report on most indicators.

| (8) | The common indicators should be defined with a sufficient level of detail to ensure the data collected by Member States is comparable and can be aggregated for displaying the implementation of the Facility at Union level. If displayed at individual Member State level, common indicators should be presented in relative terms, relying as well on data from Eurostat, to avoid misleading comparisons between Member States due to the different size or nature of the recovery and resilience plans. |

ANNEX

List of common indicators

The common indicators will reflect the progress towards the objectives of the Facility under the reforms and investments included in the recovery and resilience plans. A measure can contribute to several of the common indicators. Should a Member State’s recovery and resilience plan contain no measure contributing to some of the below indicators, it shall discuss with the Commission to decide whether to report on the indicator as ‘non-applicable’.

| Number | Common indicator related to RRF support | RRF pillars | Explanation | Unit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Savings in annual primary energy consumption | Pillar 1
  Pillar 3 | Total annual primary energy consumption reduction for supported entities due to support from measures under the Facility. The baseline shall refer to the annual primary energy consumption before the intervention, and the achieved value shall refer to the annual primary energy consumption for the year after the intervention. For buildings, interventions shall be sufficiently documented to be able to calculate these values, for example by using Energy Performance Certificates or other monitoring systems respecting the criteria as set in Article 10.6 of Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) (the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive). For processes in enterprises, the annual primary energy consumption shall be documented based on energy audits in line with Article 8 of Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) (the Energy Efficiency Directive) or other relevant technical specifications.
  Public buildings shall be defined as buildings owned by public authorities and buildings owned by a non-profit organisation, provided that such bodies pursue objectives of general interest such as education, health, environment and transport. Examples include building for public administration, schools, hospitals, etc. | MWh/year |
| 2 | Additional operational capacity installed for renewable energy | Pillar 1
  Pillar 3 | Additional capacity installed for renewable energy due to the support from measures under the Facility, and which is operational (i.e. connected to the grid, if applicable, and fully ready to produce or already producing energy). Production capacity shall be defined as the ‘net maximum electrical capacity’ as defined by Eurostat (3).
  Renewable energy shall be defined as ‘energy from renewable non-fossil sources namely wind, solar (thermal and photovoltaic) and geothermal energy, ambient energy, tide, wave and other ocean energy, hydropower, biomass, landfill gas, sewage treatment plant gas, and biogas’ (see Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4)). The indicator shall also capture electrolyser capacity for hydrogen production built up with support by measures under the Facility. The indicator shall be collected and reported separately between (i) capacity for renewable energy production; and (ii) electrolyser capacity for hydrogen production | MW |
| 3 | Alternative fuels infrastructure (refuelling/recharging points) | Pillar 1
  Pillar 3 | Number of refuelling/recharging points (new or upgraded) for clean vehicles supported by measures under the Facility.
  A recharging point shall be defined as an interface that is capable of charging one electric vehicle at a time or exchanging a battery of one electric vehicle at a time. A refuelling point shall refer to a refuelling facility for the provision of alternative fuel through a fixed or a mobile installation.
  Alternative fuel shall be defined to include fuels or power sources which serve, at least partly, as a substitute for fossil oil sources in the energy supply to transport and which have the potential to contribute to its decarbonisation and enhance the environmental performance of the transport sector and that are in line with Directive (EU) 2018/2001 (5).
  The indicator shall be collected and reported separately between (i) recharging; and (ii) refuelling points. As part of the latter, (iii) hydrogen refuelling points shall be reported separately. | Refuelling/recharging points |

Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 was last amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2024 (3) following changes in the epidemiological situation as regards that disease in Latvia, Poland and Slovakia. |

Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 was last amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2024 (3) following changes in the epidemiological situation as regards that disease in Latvia, Poland and Slovakia.

| (4) | Any amendments to restricted zones I, II and III in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 should be based on the epidemiological situation as regards African swine fever in the areas affected by that disease and the overall epidemiological situation of African swine fever in the Member State concerned, the level of risk for the further spread of that disease, as well as scientifically based principles and criteria for geographically defining zoning due to African swine fever and the Union’s guidelines agreed with the Member States at the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed and publicly available on Commission’s website (4). Such amendments should also take account of international standards, such as the Terrestrial Animal Health Code (5) of the World Organisation for Animal Health and justifications for zoning provided by the competent authorities of the Member States concerned. |

Since the date of adoption of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2024, there has been a new outbreak of African swine fever in kept porcine animals in Poland, as well as a new outbreak in wild porcine animals in Germany.

| (6) | In November 2021, one outbreak of African swine fever in kept porcine animals was observed in the Świętokrzyskie region in Poland in an area currently not listed as a restricted zone in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605. This new outbreak of African swine fever in kept porcine animals constitutes an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, this area of Poland currently not listed as a restricted zone in that Annex, affected by this recent outbreak of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zone III in that Annex and a new restricted zone I also needs to be defined to take account of this recent outbreak. |

| (7) | In addition in November 2021, one outbreak of African swine fever in a wild porcine animal was observed in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in Germany in an area currently not listed as a restricted zone in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605. This new outbreak of African swine fever in a wild porcine animal constitutes an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, this area of Germany currently not listed as a restricted zone in that Annex, affected by this recent outbreak of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zone II in that Annex and a new restricted zone I also needs to be defined to take account of this recent outbreak. |

Accordingly, this area of Germany currently not listed as a restricted zone in that Annex, affected by this recent outbreak of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zone II in that Annex and a new restricted zone I also needs to be defined to take account of this recent outbreak.

| (8) | Following this recent outbreak of African swine fever in kept porcine animals in Poland, as well as the outbreak in a wild porcine animal in Germany and taking into account the current epidemiological situation as regards African swine fever in the Union, zoning in those Member States has been reassessed and updated. In addition, the risk management measures in place have also been reassessed and updated. These changes should be reflected in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605. |

| (9) | In order to take account of the recent developments in the epidemiological situation of African swine fever in the Union, and in order to combat the risks associated with the spread of that disease in a proactive manner, new restricted zones of a sufficient size should be demarcated for Germany and Poland and duly listed as restricted zones I, II and III in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605. As the situation as regards African swine fever is very dynamic in the Union, when demarcating those new restricted zones, account has been taken of the situation in the surrounding areas. |

establishing the equivalence, for the purpose of facilitating the right of free movement within the Union, of COVID-19 certificates issued by the Republic of El Salvador to the certificates issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/953 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2021/953 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2021 on a framework for the issuance, verification and acceptance of interoperable COVID-19 vaccination, test and recovery certificates (EU Digital COVID Certificate) to facilitate free movement during the COVID-19 pandemic (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EU) 2021/953 lays down a framework for the issuance, verification and acceptance of interoperable COVID-19 vaccination, test and recovery certificates (‘EU Digital COVID Certificate’) for the purpose of facilitating the holders’ exercise of their right to free movement during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is also to contribute to facilitating the gradual lifting of restrictions to free movement put in place by Member States, in accordance with Union law, to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2, in a coordinated manner. |

(1)

Regulation (EU) 2021/953 lays down a framework for the issuance, verification and acceptance of interoperable COVID-19 vaccination, test and recovery certificates (‘EU Digital COVID Certificate’) for the purpose of facilitating the holders’ exercise of their right to free movement during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is also to contribute to facilitating the gradual lifting of restrictions to free movement put in place by Member States, in accordance with Union law, to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2, in a coordinated manner.

| (2) | Regulation (EU) 2021/953 allows for the acceptance of COVID-19 certificates issued by third countries to Union citizens and their family members where the Commission finds that those COVID-19 certificates are issued in accordance with standards that are to be considered as equivalent to those established pursuant to that Regulation. Furthermore, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/954 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), Member States are to apply the rules laid down in Regulation (EU) 2021/953 to third-country nationals who do not fall within the scope of that Regulation, but who are legally staying or residing in their territory and who are entitled to travel to other Member States in accordance with Union law. Therefore, any equivalence findings laid down in this Decision should apply to COVID-19 vaccination, test and recovery certificates issued by the Republic of El Salvador to Union citizens and their family members. Similarly, on the basis of Regulation (EU) 2021/954, such equivalence findings should also apply to COVID-19 vaccination, test and recovery certificates issued by the Republic of El Salvador to third-country nationals legally staying or residing in the territory of the Member States under the conditions laid down in that Regulation. |
