EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.           BACKGROUND TO THE
PROPOSAL

The Treaty of Lisbon, which entered into
force on 1st December 2009, substantially modifies the framework for powers
that are conferred upon the Commission by the legislator. It makes a clear
distinction between the powers delegated to the Commission to adopt
non-legislative acts of general application to supplement or amend certain
non-essential elements of a legislative act (delegated acts) on the one hand
and the powers conferred on the Commission to adopt implementing acts on the
other hand. They are subject to entirely different legal frameworks.

In terms of the wording, the definition of
delegated acts in Article 290(1) is very similar to that of acts which, under
Decision 1999/468/EC[1] ("the Comitology Decision"), are subject to the
regulatory procedure with scrutiny (RPS) established in Article 5a of this
Decision. In both cases, the acts in question are of general application and
seek to amend or supplement certain non-essential elements of the legislative
instrument.

For this reason, the revision of the
Comitology Decision by the Regulation 182/2011[2]
("the Comitology Regulation") left out of its scope Article 5a of the
Comitology Decision. Article 5a establishing the RPS had therefore to be provisionally
maintained for the purposes of existing basic acts referring to this Article.
In this context, the Commission made a commitment to formally adapt those
existing provisions providing for RPS to the delegated acts regime.

The Commission issued the following
statement at the moment of the adoption of the Comitology Regulation[3]:

"As regards legislative acts in force which currently
contain references to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny, the Commission
will review the provisions attached to this procedure in each instrument it
intends to modify, in order to adapt them in due course according to the
criteria laid down in the Treaty. In addition, the European Parliament and the
Council will be entitled to signal basic acts they consider important to adapt
as a matter of priority.

The Commission will assess the results of this process by the end of
2012 in order to estimate how many legislative acts containing references to
the regulatory procedure with scrutiny remain in force. The Commission will then
prepare the appropriate legislative initiatives to complete the adaptation. The
overall objective of the Commission is that, by the end of the 7th term of the
Parliament, all provisions referring to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny
would have been removed from all legislative instruments."

2.           OVERVIEW OF THE BASIC
INSTRUMENTS CONCERNED BY THE ALIGNMENT

At the end of 2012, 288 legislative acts
still containing references to the RPS were identified. Around 60 of them are
currently in the legislative process and therefore are not concerned by the
present proposal (those acts are listed for information in point 4 below).

The Commission has carried out a careful
examination of all legislative instruments still referring to the RPS in order
to analyse whether the RPS measures covered by the
Comitology Decision meet the criteria of Article 290
TFEU.

This is the first of the
three proposals adapting a number of legislative instruments referring to the
RPS to the criteria laid down in the Treaty. It provides for a transformation
of the RPS into delegated acts for the basic legislative acts which are listed
in the annex. It is based on the legal bases of all the
basic acts concerned.

Another separate regulation is proposed for the legislative
acts in the area of Justice which refer to the RPS (COM(2013)452), as those acts were adopted under a legal basis pursuant to Title V
part III of the TFEU and therefore do not bind all Member States, and are thus
irreconcilable with the legal bases of the other basic acts.

Finally, a third proposal will cover the
remaining basic acts referring to the RPS which are subject to an on-going
analysis.

3.           METHOD OF THE ADAPTATION
OF LEGISLATIVE INSTRUMENTS STILL REFERRING TO THE RPS

The approach followed by this proposal is
to apply the method used in the Comitology Regulation and to align the basic
acts still containing the RPS by way of a framework regulation.

The Comitology Regulation provides for an
automatic alignment of the existing acquis to the new procedures. Article 13 of
that Regulation stipulates that, where basic acts make reference to the
procedures provided for in the Comitology Decision, the corresponding procedure
of the Comitology Regulation applies.

Accordingly, the present framework
regulation provides that where instruments listed in the annex make reference
to the procedure referred to in Article 5a of the Comitology Decision, the
Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts.

In cases where there are curtailed
time-limits for opposition, in accordance with Article 5a(5)(b) of the
Comitology Decision, the proposal provides for a time-limit for objection of 1
month (Article 2(6) of the proposal).

The proposal adapts the urgency procedure
according to Article 5a(6) of the Comitology Decision to the urgency procedure
for delegated acts (Article 3 of the proposal).

Adaptation to the delegated act regime will
not affect pending procedures in which an opinion has already been delivered by
a committee in accordance with the Comitology Decision.

Basic acts which are adapted to the
delegated acts regime are listed in the annex of the proposal. The list is
organised according to policy areas and chronological order of the adoption of
the instruments.

Proposal for a

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
AND OF THE COUNCIL

adapting to Article 290 of the Treaty on
the Functioning of the European Union a number of legal acts providing for the
use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny

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 Articles 33, 43(2), 53(1), 62, 64(2),
91, 100(2), 114, 153(2)(b), 168(4)(b), 172, 192(1), 207 and 338(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[4],

Having regard to the opinion of the
Committee of the Regions[5],

Acting in accordance with the ordinary
legislative procedure,

Whereas:

(1)       The
Treaty of Lisbon introduced the possibility for the legislator to delegate
power to the Commission to adopt non-legislative acts of general application to
supplement or amend certain non-essential elements of a legislative act.

(2)       The
measures which can be covered by delegations of powers, as referred to in Article
290(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU),
correspond in principle to those covered by the regulatory procedure with
scrutiny established by Article 5a of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers
conferred on the Commission [6].

(3)       It
is necessary to adapt to Article 290 of the TFEU a number of legal acts already
in force which provide for the use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny.

(4)       This Regulation should not
affect pending procedures in which the committee has already delivered its
opinion in accordance with Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC before the entry
into force of this Regulation.

(5)       Since the adaptations to
be made by this Regulation concern only procedures, they do not, in the case of
directives, need to be transposed by the Member States.

(6)       When the Commission
prepares delegated acts on the basis of the legal acts adapted by this
Regulation, it is of particular importance that it carry out appropriate
consultations, including at expert level. The
Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a
simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the
European Parliament and to the Council,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. Where the
legal acts listed in the Annex to this Regulation provide for the use of the
regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 5a(1) to (5) of
Decision 1999/468/EC, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts
in accordance with Article 2 of this Regulation.

2. Where the
legal acts listed in the Annex provide for the use of the urgency procedure
referred to in Article 5a(6) of the Decision 1999/468/EC, the Commission shall
be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with the urgency procedure
provided in Article 3 of this Regulation.

2. The power to
adopt delegated acts shall be conferred on the Commission for an indeterminate
period of time.

3. The
delegation of power may be revoked at any time by the European Parliament or by
the Council. A decision to revoke shall put an end to the delegation of the
power specified in that decision. It shall take effect the day following the
publication of the decision in the Official Journal of the European Union
or at a later date specified therein. It shall not affect the validity of any
delegated acts already in force.

4. As soon as
it adopts a delegated act, the Commission shall notify it simultaneously to the
European Parliament and to the Council.

5. An adopted
delegated act shall enter into force only if no objection has been expressed
either by the European Parliament or the Council within a period of two months
of notification of that act to the European Parliament and the Council or if,
before the expiry of that period, the European Parliament and the Council have
both informed the Commission that they will not object. That period shall be
extended by two months at the initiative of the European Parliament or of the
Council.

6. Where the
legal acts listed in the Annex to this Regulation provide that the time-limit
laid down in Article 5a(3)(c) of Decision 1999/468/EC is curtailed pursuant to
Article 5a(5)(b) of that Decision, the periods laid down in paragraph 5 of this
Article shall be set at one month.

Article 3

1. Delegated acts adopted under this
Article shall enter into force without delay and shall apply as long as no
objection is expressed in accordance with paragraph 2. The notification of a delegated act to the European Parliament and to
the Council shall state the reasons for the use of the urgency procedure.

2. Either the European Parliament or the
Council may object to a delegated act in accordance with the procedure referred
to in Article 2(5). In such a case, the Commission shall repeal the act without
delay following the notification of the decision to
object by the European Parliament or by the Council.

Article 4

This Regulation
shall not affect pending procedures in which a committee has already delivered
its opinion in accordance with Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

Article 5

This Regulation shall enter into force on
the twentieth 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.

Done at Brussels,

For the European Parliament                       For
the Council
