on the exercise of the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on the Commission under Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 concerning Union framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector

1.Background

Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a Union framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector and support for scientific advice regarding the common fisheries policy confers on the Commission the power to adopt delegated acts. Under Article 4 of this Regulation, the Commission is required to adopt a multiannual programme for the collection and management of biological, environmental, technical and socio-economic data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. Article 4(1) empowers the Commission to adopt by delegated act the detailed list of data requirements to achieve the objectives set out in Articles 2 and 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on the common fisheries policy, which forms part of the multiannual programme.

The power to adopt delegated acts is conferred for a period of 3 years from 10 July 2017. This power is tacitly extended for periods of 3 years unless the European Parliament or the Council object. In accordance with Article 24(2), the Commission is required to draw up a report in respect of the delegation of power. This report fulfils this obligation.

2.Commission exercise of delegated powers under Regulation (EU) 2017/1004

The 2020-2021 multiannual programme expired on 31 December 2021. The Commission used its delegated power to adopt Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2021/1167 of 27 April 2021 establishing the multiannual Union programme for the collection and management of biological, environmental, technical and socio-economic data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors from 2022. The Commission Delegated Decision revises the corresponding provisions and rules of Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/910. For the purpose of the multiannual programme, this Decision has to be considered in conjunction with Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/1168, adopted on 27 April 2021.

3.Conclusion

The Commission has exercised its delegated powers upon the expiry of Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/910 in 2021. Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2021/1167 establishes the multiannual Union programme for the collection and management of biological, environmental, technical and socio-economic data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors from 2022, thus ensuring the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004. Although the multiannual programme does not contain an end date, it will have to be revised in a foreseeable future, to accommodate emerging needs for data, and to adapt its scope to changing fisheries profiles andpolicy requirements. The Commission sees the need to extend the duration of the empowerment to adopt subsequent delegated acts establishing multiannual Union programmes.

STATEMENT OF REVENUE

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Entry into force of Council Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of the European Communities' own resources

Up to now, the budgetary procedure for 2002 was based, for the revenue side, on the assumption that the new own resources Decision would enter into force on 1 January 2002, after ratification by all Member States.

It now appears that in several Member States the procedures of ratification will not be completed in time for the Decision to enter into force at this date.

Under these conditions, the final budget for 2002, to be adopted by the European Parliament, should be based, concerning the revenue side, on the existing own resources Decision, [5] pending the entry into force of the new Decision.

[5] Council Decision 94/728/EC, Euratom of 31 October 1994.

In order to make it possible for the European Parliament to adopt the budget on this basis, the Commission is presenting this letter of amendment to the budgetary authority.

It modifies the preliminary draft budget. However, taking into account the very limited time available for its adoption by the Council and the fact that the first twelfths of own resources to be called on 1 January 2002 are calculated on the sums entered in the draft budget (Article 10, Point 3, Paragraph 11 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing the Decision on the system of own resources), the enclosed financing tables corresponding to the existing own resources Decision are directly calculated on the basis of the draft budget for 2002, as adopted by the Council on 20 July 2001.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 251 (2) of the EC Treaty concerning the common position of the Council on the adoption of a Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Community Statistical Programme 2003 to 2007

1- BACKGROUND

Date of transmission of the proposal to the EP and the Council (document COM(2001) 683 final - 2001/0281 COD): // 28th November 2001.

Date of the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee: // 20th March 2002.

Date of the opinion of the European Parliament, first reading: // 25th April 2002.

//

Date of adoption of the common position: // 30th September 2002.

2- OBJECTIVE OF THE COMMISSION PROPOSAL

The proposed five-year programme for 2003 - 2007 is the sixth successive medium term programme of work prepared by Eurostat. The aim of each programme has been to provide an overview of the strategies, priorities and work plans foreseen for each planning period. The five-year programmes are supported by annual programmes which provide more detailed work objectives for each year.

The Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 [1] on Community Statistics requires the preparation of a Community statistical programme "which defines the approaches, the main fields and the objectives of the actions envisaged for a period not exceeding five years."

[1] OJ L 52, 22.2.1997, p. 1.

The proposed Decision is now subject to co-decision under Article 285 of the European Community Treaty.

3- COMMENTS ON THE COMMON POSITION

3.1 General Remarks on the Common Position

The changes introduced in the Common position are mainly in the nature of technical clarifications and thus do not pose any particular problem for the Commission.

3.2 Action taken on the European Parliament's first reading

Of the total of 5 amendments, numbers 1, 2, 3 and 5 were acceptable to the Commission as they stand and are included in the Common Position.

Amendment 4 contained 2 separate measures: -

* The first concerned the extension of the 2003 to 2007 programme beyond the current financial perspectives. For this reason, the Commission cannot accept the EP amendment; the replacement text included in the Common Position of the Council is acceptable to the Commission.

* The second concerned an increase in the Operational Budget for the Programme. The Council does not accept this amendment in the Common Position and the Commission agrees with that.

3.3 New provisions introduced by Council and the Commission's position

The amendments introduced by Council were also largely in the nature of technical clarifications as indicated above. The Council rejected an increase in budget for this programme and retained the figure originally proposed by the Commission. The Commission agrees.

4- CONCLUSION

The Commission can accept the Common Position.

COMMISSION OPINION on the request from Ireland to accept the Directive 2001/55/EC on minimum standards for giving temporary protection in the event of a mass influx of displaced persons and on measures promoting a balance of efforts between Member States in receiving such persons and bearing the consequence thereof

I. Introduction

1. On 20 July 2001, the Council adopted Directive 2001/55/EC on minimum standards for giving temporary protection in the event of a mass influx of displaced persons and on measures promoting a balance of efforts between Member States in receiving such persons and bearing the consequences thereof (hereinafter referred to as Directive 2001/55) [1]. Pursuant to Article 1 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland, Ireland did not participate in the adoption of the said Directive.

[1] OJ L 212 of 7 August 2001, p. 12-21

2. However, by virtue of Article 4 of the said Protocol "Ireland may at any time after the adoption of a measure by the Council pursuant to Title IV (ex Title IIIA) of the Treaty establishing the European Community notify its intention to the Council and to the Commission that it wishes to accept that measure. In that case, the procedure provided for in Article 11A (ex Article 5a(3)) of the Treaty establishing the European Community shall apply mutatis mutandis".

3. By letter of 11 April 2003, received by the Commission on 6 May 2003, Ireland notified the Commission that it wishes to accept Directive 2001/55/EC.

4. In accordance with Article 11A of the Treaty establishing the European Community "any Member State that wishes to participate in enhanced cooperation established in accordance with Article 11 shall notify its intention to the Council and to the Commission, which shall give an opinion to the Council within three months of the date of receipt of that notification. Within four months of the date of receipt of that notification, the Commission shall take a decision on it, and on such specific arrangements as it may deem necessary."

5. In accordance with the terms of the said Article, the Commission gives the following opinion to the Council.

II . Opinion

The Commission welcomes the request from Ireland to accept Directive 2001/55/EC which is an important element of the Community asylum policy and it would therefore give a positive opinion on the said participation.

As a specific arrangement the Commission is of the view that the Directive should enter into force for Ireland on the day of the notification to Ireland of the Commission's Decision on its request and further that Ireland should bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 2001/55/EC by 31 December 2003 at the latest.
