(1) Article 3.1(c) of Regulation (EC) No 733/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 April 2002 on the implementation of the .eu Top Level Domain (OJ L 113, 30.4.2002, p. 1).

Statements by the Council and by the Commission relating to Regulation (EU) 2017/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017 laying down supply chain due diligence obligations for Union importers of tin, tantalum and tungsten, their ores, and gold originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas (1)

(2017/C 158/01)

Statement by the Council

The Council agrees, on an exceptional basis, to delegate to the Commission the power to adopt delegated acts to amend the thresholds of Annex I as set out in Article 1(4) and (5), so as to ensure a timely adoption of the thresholds and to meet the objectives of this Regulation. Such agreement is without prejudice to future legislative proposals in the area of trade, as well as in the area of external relations as a whole.

Statement 1 by the Commission

The Commission will consider making additional legislative proposals targeted at EU companies with products containing tin, tantalum, and tungsten and gold in their supply chain should it conclude that the aggregate efforts of the EU market on the responsible global supply chain of minerals are insufficient to leverage responsible supply behaviour in producer countries, or should it assess that the buy-in of downstream operators that have in place supply chain due diligence systems in line with the OECD guidance is insufficient.

Statement 2 by the Commission

In the exercise of its empowerment to adopt delegated acts pursuant to Article 1(5), the Commission will take due account of the objectives of this Regulation, notably as set out in recitals 1, 7, 10 and 17.

In doing so, the Commission will, in particular, consider the specific risks associated with the operation of upstream gold supply chains in conflict affected and high-risk areas and taking into account the position of Union micro and small enterprises importing gold in the EU.

Statement 3 by the Commission

In response to the request of the European Parliament for specific guidelines, the Commission is willing to develop performance indicators specific to the responsible sourcing of conflict minerals. By means of such guidelines, relevant companies with more than 500 employees that are required to disclose non-financial information in conformity with Directive 2014/95/EU would be encouraged to disclose specific information in relation to products containing tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold.

JOINT STATEMENT OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

(2019/C 386/01)

The European Border and Coast Guard Agency is expected to face challenging circumstances in the coming years to fulfil exceptional needs for recruiting, training and retaining qualified staff from the broadest possible geographical basis. In view of the Agency’s mandate and the important number of its staff, it is essential to explore mechanisms which would allow to ensure the attractiveness of the Agency as an employer by adapting the remunerations of the staff of the Agency in Warsaw, in accordance with the applicable Union law.

The European Parliament and the Council therefore call upon the Commission to assess the basis and modalities for any such appropriate mechanism, in particular when presenting the proposals for the revision of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the Union, laid down in Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1). Any such mechanism shall be proportionate to the importance of the objectives pursued and not give rise to unequal treatment among staff of the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies if such Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies are confronted with a similar situation.

Statement: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 as regards exceptional additional resources and implementing arrangements under the Investment for growth and jobs goal to provide assistance for fostering crisis repair in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and preparing a green, digital and resilient recovery of the economy (REACT-EU) — Adoption of the legislative act

(2020/C 450 I/01)

STATEMENT BY THE COMMISSION

Statement in relation to Recital 6

The Commission regrets that the European Parliament and the Council agreed that the climate-spending target is set out in a recital instead of establishing a legally binding target in an Article. The Commission considers that this does not give appropriate legal means for the Commission to effectively ensure that the contribution of REACT-EU resources reach the agreed level for the purposes of the overall climate contribution target set for the Multiannual Financial Framework and Next Generation EU jointly, in accordance with point 15 of the Inter-institutional Agreement.
Statement by the Commission

(2021/C 222 I/01)

The Commission recognises the importance of a common licensing and enforcement capacity-building and training programme for an effective EU export control system. The Commission, in consultation with the Dual-Use Coordination Group, undertakes to explore the human and financial resource implications that such a programme may entail, with a view to identifying options for the design, modalities and deployment of a capacity-building and training programme.
Joint Declaration by the European Parliament and the Commission on data collection for effective controls and audits

(2021/C 58 I/02)

The European Parliament and the Commission recall the need to ensure effective controls and audits for the purposes of avoiding double funding and preventing, detecting and correcting fraud, corruption and conflict of interests in relation to the measures supported by the Recovery and Resilience Facility. The two institutions consider essential that Member States collect and record data on final recipients and beneficiaries of Union funding in an electronic standardised and interoperable format and use the single data mining tool to be provided by the Commission.
Statement by the European Commission on the modulation/suspension of assistance in Article 8, paragraph 5 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1529 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA III)

(2021/C 380 I/05)

The European Commission considers that the provision in Article 8(5) respects the powers of the Commission in the implementation of Union programmes, and the Union budget in general as long as it is without prejudice to the powers entrusted to the Commission by the Treaties and the Financial Regulation to suspend Union assistance provided to third countries.
Statement of the European Commission on clarifications as regards the application of Regulation 2022/2560, pursuant to Article 46 thereof

(2022/C 491/04)

The Commission commits to clarifying the application of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2560 (1) on the existence of a distortion caused by a foreign subsidy on the internal market, the application of the balancing test set out in Article 6 of this Regulation, and the assessment of a distortion in a public procurement procedure set out in Article 27(1) of this Regulation.

The Commission will make such initial clarifications public at the latest 12 months after the date of application of these provisions.

Guidelines issued pursuant to Article 46 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2560 may replace these initial clarifications.

Amendment of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management

(2008/C 326/02)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas:

(1) The recent developments in food and commodity prices have raised concerns especially as regards their impact for developing countries. The Commission proposed to create a new facility for rapid response to soaring food prices in developing countries (1) and the two arms of budgetary authority, at the conciliation meeting of 21 November 2008, have agreed to provide part of the financing for this facility from the Emergency Aid Reserve.

(2) Since the remaining amount of the Emergency Aid Reserve for the year 2008 is insufficient to cover the needs of the food facility, an increase is necessary in order to enable the Reserve to contribute to the food facility financing.

(3) In order to address that exceptional situation the Emergency Aid Reserve should be increased to EUR 479,218 million in current prices, uniquely and exceptionally for the year 2008.

(4) Point 25 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and sound financial management should therefore be amended accordingly,

Have agreed as follows:

In point 25 the following sentence shall be added to the first subparagraph:

‘This amount shall be exceptionally increased to EUR 479,218 million for the year 2008 in current prices.’
