COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 147/2013
of 13 February 2013
amending Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on energy statistics, as regards the implementation of updates for the monthly and annual energy statistics
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008 on energy statistics (1), and in particular Article 4(3) and Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 2004/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 on the promotion of cogeneration based on a useful heat demand in the internal energy market (2) and Directive 2006/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2006 on energy end-use efficiency and energy services (3) require Member States to report quantitative energy data. In order to monitor progress towards the achievement of the objectives set in these Directives, detailed, up-to-date energy data are required, which are to be collected in a harmonised high quality manner. Such reporting obligations are essential for, inter alia, pursuing the aims of energy efficiency and should thus remain a steady element of the EU legal framework development in this area; parts of these data are already communicated to and established as annual energy statistics by the Commission (Eurostat).
(2)
Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 establishes a common framework for the production, transmission, evaluation and dissemination of comparable energy statistics in the Union.
(3)
Energy statistics comprise a very dynamic statistical domain because of the intensive development of Union policies, technological progress and the importance of basing Union targets on energy data. Accordingly, regular updates are required in order to align its statistical scope with growing or changing needs.
(4)
Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 has conferred on the Commission implementing powers for the adjustments of the statistical annexes. The first such adjustment took place in 2010; since then, new improvements and adjustments to both the monthly and annual statistics took place and they therefore need to be addressed.
(5)
The Commission has developed the required updates and discussed feasibility, production costs, confidentiality and reporting burden with the Member States.
(6)
Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 are replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
Commission Regulation (EU) No 844/2010 (4) is repealed.
References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation.
Article 3
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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 715/2014
of 26 June 2014
amending Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1166/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on farm structure surveys and the survey on agricultural production methods, as regards the list of characteristics to be collected in the farm structure survey 2016
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1166/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on farm structure surveys and the survey on agricultural production methods (1), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 1166/2008 provides for a programme of surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings up to 2016.
(2)
There is a need to collect data for monitoring the implementation of measures associated with the revision of the common agricultural policy after 2013. Additionally, there is a need to collect data for monitoring the implementation of measures associated with rural development (2).
(3)
There is a lack of statistical information on the use of nutrients, irrigation and agricultural production methods linked with structural data at the level of individual holdings. Therefore it is necessary to improve the collection of information on nutrient and water use and agricultural production methods on agricultural holdings; to provide additional statistics for the development of agri-environmental policy; and to improve the quality of agri-environmental indicators.
(4)
The amendment of the list of characteristics is based on the principle that the overall burden will remain balanced, as those variables which are obsolete due to changes in related legislation or variables omitted in 2016 on an one-off basis are dropped while others are added, mainly due to growing and changing needs for agricultural statistical information linked to the new common agricultural policy towards 2020, notably with regard to the enhancement of its environmental performance and the related agro-environmental information needed, considering also that the level of EU financial contribution to the survey remains constant.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 1166/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1166/2008 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
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.
