This Directive empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts to adapt the Annexes I and III to VIII (with the exception of provisions of Sections I and II of Annex VIII) to scientific and technical progress:

·ANNEX I: List of animals referred to in Article 10 [requiring these specifically bred for use in procedures]

·ANNEX III: Requirements for establishments and for the care and accommodation of animals

·ANNEX IV: Methods of killing animals

·ANNEX V: List of elements referred to in Article 23(3) [as the basis for Member States to establish minimum requirements for education and training of staff ]

·ANNEX VII: Duties and tasks of the Union Reference Laboratory [established for the co-ordination of validation of alternative methods at Union level]

2. LEGAL BASIS

This report is required under Article 51(1) of Directive 2010/63/EU. Pursuant to this provision, the power to adopt delegated acts was conferred on the Commission for a period of 8 years beginning on 9 November 2010 and the Commission is required to prepare a report in respect of the delegation of power, at the latest 12 months before the end of the eight-year period. The delegation of power shall be automatically extended for periods of an identical duration, unless the European Parliament or the Council revokes it in accordance with Article 52.

European Development Fund (EDF): forecasts of commitments, payments and contributions from Member States for 2018, 2019, 2020 and non-binding forecast for the years 2021-2022

1.Foreword

In accordance with Article 7(1) of the 11th EDF Internal Agreement and Article 21(2) of Council Regulation (EU) 2015/323 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the 11th European Development Fund (hereinafter referred to as "11th EDF Financial Regulation"), the Commission presents in this document estimates of commitments, payments and contributions for the period 2018 to 2020, taking into account the forecasts of the European Investment Bank (EIB).

This document sets out the financial implementation forecasts of the EDFs (Eighth to 11th) for 2018 until 2020. In addition, this document makes a non-binding estimation, for the EDF contributions from the Member States, for the years 2021 and 2022.

Member States contribute funds directly to the European Investment Bank (EIB) for the instruments which it manages under the Ninth, 10th, and 11th EDFs (the Investment Facility and interest-rate subsidies).

2.Introduction

The Commission and the EIB have updated their commitment and payment forecasts for 2018, 2019 and 2020 for each of the ACP countries and the OCTs. The payment forecasts in particular have been compiled with the aim of helping Member States to assess as accurately as possible the amounts they need to earmark in their national budgets while ensuring that sufficient financial resources are available for the EDF to avoid liquidity problems.

In accordance with Article 7 of the 11th EDF Internal Agreement and Article 21(2) of the 11th EDF Financial Regulation, the estimates of commitments and payments have been updated following the latest forecasts.

The graph below shows the general evolution in gross commitments and payments since 1999 until 2017 and projections for the period 2018-2020 (Commission and EIB cumulated amounts).

REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL

on the exercise of the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on the Commission under Regulation (EC) No 471/2009 on Community statistics relating to external trade with non-member countries

1.Background

Regulation (EU) 2016/1724 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 September 2016 amended Regulation (EC) No 471/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 on Community statistics relating to external trade with non-member countries in order to align it with the distinction between delegated and implementing acts introduced under the Lisbon Treaty.

Articles 3(2), (3) and (4), 4(5), 5(2) and (4), and 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 471/2009, as amended, empower the Commission to adopt delegated acts in accordance with its Article 10a, in respect of:

-the adaptation of the list of customs procedures or customs-approved treatment or use;

-the designation of specific goods or movements and the different or specific provisions applicable to them;

-the exclusion of goods or movements from external trade statistics;

-the further specification of the statistical data;

-the level of aggregation for partner countries, goods and currencies for statistics on trade by invoicing currency;

-data collection relating to specific goods or movements and from economic operators who have been granted certain customs simplifications; and

-a requirement for limited sets of data for specific goods or movements and for data collected from economic operators who have been granted certain customs simplifications.

2.Legal basis

Under Article 10a(2) of Regulation (EC) No 471/2009, the power to adopt delegated acts is conferred for a period of 5 years from 20 October 2016. It is to be tacitly extended for periods of 5 years unless the European Parliament or the Council opposes such extension no later than 3 months before the end of each period.

The Commission is to draw up a report on the delegation of power no later than 9 months before the end of the 5-year period. This report fulfils this obligation.

3.Exercise of delegated powers under Regulation (EC) No 471/2009

The Commission has not yet exercised the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on it by Regulation (EC) No 471/2009. There has been no need to do so, as all measures considered necessary to date were covered by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2119.

4.Conclusions

The Commission has not yet exercised the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on it by Regulation (EC) No 471/2009.

COMMISSION OPINION pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 245 of the EC Treaty on the draft Council Decision amending Article 20 of the Protocol on the Statute of the Court of Justice

1. As the Court indicated in the statement of grounds accompanying its request of 17 October 2001, [1] the proposed amendment has become necessary following the entry into force of the Agreement concluded by the Council in 1999 with the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning their association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (OJ L 176, 10.7.1999). Article 9(2) of the Agreement allows the two non-Member States to participate in preliminary ruling proceedings before the Court of Justice.

[1] Council document No 12991/01 of 19 October 2001.

2. A similar amendment to the one proposed here was made to Article 20 of the Statute of the Court in order to enable Member States party to the EEA Agreement, as well as the EFTA Surveillance Authority, to participate in preliminary ruling proceedings before the Court of Justice.

3. The proposed wording will avoid the need to amend Article 20 on the entry into force of any new agreements providing for the participation of non-Member States in preliminary ruling proceedings.

The Commission approves the text proposed by the Court of Justice.
COMMISSION OPINION under the second paragraph of Article 245 of the EC Treaty on the requests for amendment of Article 29 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice and Article 35 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of First Instance, presented by the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance in accordance with Article 64 of the Statute of the Court of Justice

The purpose of the amendments requested by the Court of Justice [1] and the Court of First Instance [2] is to add the new official languages of the enlarged Union to their lists of procedural languages and to reproduce in the Rules of Procedure of the Court of First Instance the provisions of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice governing procedural languages in the direct actions that are now to be within the jurisdiction of the Court of First Instance under the distribution of jurisdiction in the process of being adopted by the Council.

[1] Doc. 15167/03 JUR 452 COUR 31.

[2] Doc. 15738/03 JUR 468 COUR 33.

These purely technical amendments call for no comments from the Commission.

The Commission accordingly agrees to the texts presented by the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance.
