REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL

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 (EU) No 1337/2011 concerning

European statistics on permanent crops

1.Background

Article 11(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1337/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2011 concerning European statistics on permanent crops confers on the Commission the power to adopt delegated acts. Under Article 11(2) of the Regulation, the power to adopt delegated acts is conferred for a period of five years from 31 December 2011. The period ends on 31 December 2016. This power is to be tacitly extended for periods of five years unless the European Parliament or the Council objects.

The Commission is authorised to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 11 to take into account economic and technical developments. The delegated acts may amend:

the breakdowns of species by groups, density classes and age classes set out in Annex I to the Regulation; and

the variables/characteristics, size classes, degree of specialisation and vine varieties set out in Annex II.

However, the delegated acts may not change the optional nature of the information required.

In exercising this power, the Commission must ensure that the delegated acts do not impose a significant additional administrative burden on the Member States and on the respondents.

The Commission must draw up a report on the delegation of power not later than nine months before the end of the five-year period.

This brief report fulfils this obligation.

2.Commission exercise of delegated powers under Regulation (EU) No 1337/2011

The Commission has not yet exercised the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on it by Regulation (EU) No 1337/2011.

The Regulation covers the five-yearly collection of structural statistics on orchards and vineyards. The first data on orchards were collected in 2012 and these were delivered to the Commission (Eurostat) at the end of September 2013. Data on vineyards were first collected in 2015 and these are to be delivered to the Commission (Eurostat) by the end of September 2016.

At the time of delivering this report, experience of collecting data under the Regulation is limited to the single data collection on orchards. The Commission has therefore not yet deemed it necessary to exercise the delegated powers.

REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION

TO THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

on the exercise of the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on the Commission pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 on ship recycling

1. INTRODUCTION

Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 2013 on ship recycling() (the Ship Recycling Regulation) lays down rules to prevent, reduce, minimise and, to the extent practicable, eliminate accidents, injuries and other adverse effects on human health and the environment caused by ship recycling. To this end, the Ship Recycling Regulation notably requires ships to carry on board an inventory of hazardous materials, from various dates set in article 32 of the Regulation and depending on the status of the ship.

The Ship Recycling Regulation empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts, as referred to in Article 5(8), with a view to "updating of the list of items for the inventory of hazardous materials in Annexes I and II to ensure that the lists include at least the substances listed in Appendices I and II of the Hong Kong Convention". Article 5(8) further states that "the Commission shall adopt a separate delegated act in respect of each substance to be added or deleted from Annexes I or II."

2. LEGAL BASIS

The present report is required under Article 24(2) of the Ship Recycling Regulation. Under this article, the Commission has the power to adopt delegated acts for a period of five years from 30 December 2013. The Commission is also required to prepare a report in respect of delegated powers, at the latest 9 months before the end of the five-year period. In accordance with Article 24(2), the delegation of power shall be tacitly extended for periods of an identical duration, unless the European Parliament or the Council opposes such an extension not later than three months before the end of each period.

3. EXERCISE OF THE DELEGATION

During the period covered by this report, the Commission did not make use of the delegated power referred to in article 5(8). This is because the Hong Kong Convention, while adopted, has not yet entered into force. Its contents can therefore not be revisited yet and additional substances cannot be added to its Appendices. As the Annexes of the Ship Recycling Regulation currently include all substances listed in the Hong Kong Convention Appendices, there is no need for delegated acts.

The priorities of the Annual Growth Survey were endorsed by the European Council on 22 March 2018. On 22 November 2017, on the basis of Regulation (EU) No 1176/2011, the Commission also adopted the Alert Mechanism Report, in which it did not identify Denmark as one of the Member States for which an in-depth review would be carried out.

The Commission has provided further details on how it would make use of that provision in guidelines on the application of the measures linking the effectiveness of the European Structural and Investment Funds to sound economic governance.

REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL

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 pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 of the European Parliament and of the Council on integrated farm statistics

1. INTRODUCTION

Articles 5(5), 8(3) and 9(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 confer on the Commission the power to adopt delegated acts.

The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in line with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 for the purposes described below.

·Amending the variables listed in Annex III, where necessary, in order to harmonise them with the data sources specified in Article 4(2) for 2023 and 2026.

·Amending the detailed topics listed in Annex IV for 2023 and 2026.

·Supplementing the module data set out in Annex IV if collecting additional information is deemed necessary. Those delegated acts must specify:

(a)the topics and detailed topics to be provided in the ad hoc module and the reason for these additional statistical needs;

(b)the reference year.

The same Regulation states that delegated acts referred in Articles 5(5) and 8(3) must ‘be adopted by 30 September 2021 for the reference year 2023 and by 30 September 2024 for the reference year 2026’.

Delegated acts referred to in Article 9(1) can be adopted starting with the reference year 2023 and at 3-year intervals. The Commission must not propose ad hoc modules for reference years during which data collection is carried out as part of a census (which was only the case for 2020).

2. LEGAL BASIS

1. BACKGROUND

Date proposal transmitted to Parliament and Council: 1997 (document COM(1997)369 final-1997/0197(COD): 4 September 1997

Date of opinion of Economic and Social Committee: 28 January 1998

Date of opinion of European Parliament on first reading: 17 November 1998

Date amended proposal transmitted: 1999 (document COM (1999)193 final-1997/0197(COD): 27 April 1999

Date common position adopted: 19 July 2000

2. OBJECTIVE OF THE COMMISSION PROPOSAL

This proposal for a Directive aims to harmonise the scientific standards and rationalise the documentary and administrative procedures involved in the conduct of clinical trials on medicinal products for human use, while ensuring patient protection.

3. COMMENTS ON COMMON POSITION

3.1 Brief general observations on common position

The Council's common position differs from the Commission's amended proposal. It clarifies, expands on and adds to certain points and reinforces the subsidiarity principle but does not change the substance.

3.2 Parliament amendments on first reading:

- accepted by Commission and incorporated in common position:

the amendments accepted by the Commission have been retained in the common position, particularly the guarantees concerning protection of those taking part in the clinical trials: informed consent of the participants, clearly defined and stronger role of the ethics committee in the commencement and completion of these trials and in exchanges of information.

- accepted by Commission but not incorporated in common position:

none.

3.3 Any new provisions introduced by Council and Commission's position on them:

The Council's common position differs from the Commission's amended proposal on the points relating to the detailed organisation of the ethics committee for which the subsidiarity principle is applied, on the time limits which are clarified but extended, while remaining reasonable, on the various categories of authorisation which take account of the type of medicinal product involved, including the new therapies, and on the monitoring of the manufacture and importation of experimental medicinal products which takes account of the specific nature of this type of product.

The common position reflects the needs of the Member States particularly with regard to time limits but the Commission considers that the substance of its proposal has not been changed.

4. CONCLUSION

The Commission supports the common position. The adoption of Community legislation on the application of good clinical practice in the conduct of clinical trials on medicinal products will promote the conduct of such trials in the European Union.

5. COMMISSION STATEMENTS

None.
