EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. BACKGROUND TO THE PROPOSAL

Following the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council adapting to Article 290 TFEU a number of legal acts providing for the use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny (RPS) (COM(2013)451) and the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council adapting to Article 290 TFEU a number of legal acts in the area of Justice providing for the RPS (COM(2013)452), the present proposal concerns the alignment of the remaining basic acts referring to the RPS.

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 meet the criteria of the TFEU. The analysis showed that some of the measures do not fall into the scope of Article 290 TFEU. In cases where those measures fulfil the criteria of Article 291 TFEU, it is therefore proposed that the Commission is empowered to adopt implementing acts. In few cases where the powers given to the Commission are not in accordance with the Treaty, it is proposed that the provisions in question are deleted.

2. METHOD OF THE ADAPTATION

The approach followed in this proposal is similar to the one followed in the preceding proposals (COM(2013)451 and COM(2013)452). Accordingly, the present framework regulation provides that where legal acts listed in Annex I provide for the use of Article 5a of the Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission[1] ("the Comitology Decision"), the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts, while for legal acts providing for the use of Article 5a of the Comitology Decision which are listed in Annex II, the Commission is empowered to adopt implementing acts.

In cases where one provision contains a list of empowerments which, in light of the criteria of Articles 290 and 291 TFEU, are of a differing nature (some empowerments are of delegated and some of implementing nature), it is proposed that the empowerment is split.

In case of measures listed in Annex I, 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).

For measures listed in Annex II, the proposal adapts the urgency procedure according to Article 5a(6) of the Comitology Decision to the procedure for immediately applicable implementing acts under Article 8 of Regulation 182/2011[2] ("the Comitology Regulation") (Article 4(2) of the proposal).

Adaptation to the delegated act regime and the implementing 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 Annex I of the proposal. Basic acts which are adapted to the implementing acts regime are listed in Annex II of the proposal. Annex III contains amendments to the basic acts the provisions of which are deleted. The lists are organised according to policy areas and chronological order of the adoption of the instruments.

3. LIST OF BASIC ACTS SUBJECT TO A SEPARATE REVISION

The instruments listed hereunder referring to the RPS for which a separate substantial revision is envisaged, are not included in this proposal, nor in the two preceding alignment proposals. Their alignment will be part of those envisaged revisions.

Proposal for a

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

adapting to Article 290 and 291 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 43(2), 53(1), 62, 100(2), 114, 168(4)a, 168(4)b, 172, 192(1), 207, 214(3), 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[3],

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions[4],

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,

Whereas:

(1) The Treaty of Lisbon introduced a 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), and the powers conferred upon the Commission to adopt uniform conditions for implementing legally binding Union acts (implementing acts).

(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[5].

(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 and which fulfil the criteria of Article 290(1) TFEU.

(4) 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.

(5) It is necessary to adapt to Article 291 of the TFEU a number of legal acts already in force which provide for the use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny and which fulfil the criteria of Article 291(2) of the TFEU.

(6) When implementing powers are conferred on the Commission, those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council.[6]

(7) As a consequence of the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, it is also necessary to amend a number of legal acts already in force which provide for the use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny by deleting certain measures covered by that procedure.

(8) 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.

(9) Since the adaptations and amendments 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,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. Where provisions listed in Annex I 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 provisions listed in Annex I provide for the use of the urgency procedure referred to in Article 5a(6) of 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.
