   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 12.1.2018  COM(2018) 14 final  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 138/2004 on the economic accounts for agriculture  
 
 
1. 

BACKGROUND 

Regulation  (EC)  No  138/2004  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  on 
economic  accounts  for  agriculture1  (EAA)  was  adopted  in  December  2003.  It  was 
amended by Regulation (EU) No 1350/2013 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council  of  11  December  2013  amending  certain  legislative  acts  in  the  field  of 
agricultural  and  fishery  statistics  to  align  implementing  powers  with  the  Treaty  on 
the Functioning of the European Union.2 

Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 138/2004 confers powers to adopt delegated acts 
on the Commission. According to Article 2(2), the power of delegation can be used 
to amend the EAA methodology set out in Annex I and, according to Article 3(3), to 
amend the list of variables for the provision of data set out in Annex II. 

Under  Article  4(2),  the  power  to  adopt  delegated  acts  is  conferred  for  a  period  of 
five years from 10 January 2014. This power is to be tacitly extended for periods of 
five years unless the European Parliament or the Council object. 

The Commission is obliged to draw up a report on the delegation of power not later 
than  nine  months  before  the  end  of  the  five-year  period.  This  report  fulfils  this 
obligation. 

2. 

COMMISSION  EXERCISE  OF  DELEGATED  POWERS  UNDER  REGULATION  (EC)  NO 
138/2004 

The  Commission  has  not  yet  exercised  the  power  to  adopt  delegated  acts  as 
conferred on it by Regulation (EC) No 138/2004. 

Since the delegated powers entered into force in 2014, the Commission has seen no 
immediate  need  to  update  either  Annex  I  or  II.  It  has,  however,  started  internal 
reflections on methodological and coverage issues that could have an impact in the 
future. 

3. 

CONCLUSIONS 

The Commission has not yet exercised the power to adopt delegated acts conferred 
on it by Regulation (EC) No 138/2004. 

The Commission considers that it should continue to have these delegated powers as 
in the future it may need to adopt a delegated act to modify Annexes I and II of the 
Regulation as part of the future development of EAA and to meet the needs of data 
users in the context of the future common agricultural policy.

   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 12.1.2018  COM(2018) 9 final  […] REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL on the excercise of the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on the Commission under Regulation (EC) No 762/2008 concerning European statistics on aquaculture   
 
 
1. 

BACKGROUND 

Regulation (EC) No 762/2008 of 9 July 2008 on the submission by Member States of 
statistics  on  aquaculture1  was  modified  by  Regulation  (EU)  No  1350/2013  of  the 
European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  of  11  December  2013  amending  certain 
legislative  acts  in  the  field  of  agricultural  and  fishery  statistics2  to  align 
implementing powers with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. 

Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 762/2008 confers on the Commission the power to 
adopt  delegated  acts.  This  power  can  be  used  to  take  account  of  economic  and 
technical  developments.  The  delegated  acts  may  amend  Annex  I  to  adapt  its 
definitions to changes in international definitions, and Annexes II to VI. 

Under  Article  9a(2),  the  power  to  adopt  delegated  acts  is  conferred  for  a  period  of 
five years from 10 January 2014. This power is to be tacitly extended for periods of 
five years unless the European Parliament or the Council oppose such extension. 

The Commission is obliged to draw up a report on the delegation of power not later 
than  nine  months  before  the  end  of  the  five-year  period.  This  report  fulfils  this 
obligation. 

2. 

COMMISSION  EXERCISE  OF  DELEGATED  POWERS  UNDER  REGULATION  (EC)  NO 
762/2008 

The Commission has not yet exercised the power to adopt delegated acts conferred 
on it by Regulation (EU) No 762/2008. 

Until the time of delivering this report, the collection of data under Regulation (EC) 
No  762/2008  was  stable  and  international  definitions  did  not  change.  The 
Commission  has  therefore  not  yet  deemed  it  necessary  to  exercise  the  delegated 
powers. 

3. 

CONCLUSIONS 

The Commission has not yet exercised the power to adopt delegated  acts conferred 
on it by Regulation (EU) No 762/2008. 

The Commission considers that it should continue to have these delegated powers as 
in the future it may need to adopt a delegated act to modify Annexes I to IV of the 
above-mentioned  Regulation  to  meet  the  needs  of  data  users  in  the  context  of  the 
future common fisheries policy, or to adapt to changes in international definitions.

On 3 January 2018, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).
This notification concerns the following undertakings:






—


CVC Capital Partners SICAV-FIS SA (‘CVC’, Luxembourg),

CVC acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of TMF.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for CVC: the provision of advice to and management of investment funds and platforms,
