   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 27.3.2023  COM(2023) 170 final  REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT in respect of the delegation of powers referred to in Article 11(2), Article 15(2), (3), (6), (7) and Article 45(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy  
 
 
1. Introduction 

The Common Fisheries Policy Regulation (EU) No 1380/20131 (‘CFP Regulation’), covers: 

(a)  the conservation of marine biological resources and the management of fisheries and 

fleets exploiting such resources; and  

(b)  in  relation  to  measures  on  markets  and  financial  measures  in  support  of  the 
implementation  of  the  CFP:  fresh  water  biological  resources,  aquaculture  and  the 
processing and marketing of fisheries and aquaculture products. 

This Regulation has been amended five times: in 20142, 20153, 20174, 20195 and 20226. 

To  fulfil  the  objectives  of  the  CFP  Regulation,  and  in  particular  to  ensure  that  fishing  and 
aquaculture  activities  are  environmentally  and  socio-economically  sustainable  in  the  long 
term, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning 
of  the  European  Union  is  delegated  to  the  Commission.  This  power7  can  be  used  by  the 
Commission to adopt conservation measures accompanying certain environmental obligations 
for Member States8 for the purpose of complying with their obligations under Article 13(4) of 
the Marine strategy framework directive9 (MSFD), Article 4 of the Birds directive10 or Article 
6  of  the  Habitats  directive11,  to  implement  the  landing  obligation  and  to  establish  detailed

rules on the functioning of the Advisory Councils. An Advisory Council has been set up12 for 
each geographical area or field of competence in order to promote a balanced representation 
of  all  stakeholders  and  to  contribute  to  the  achievements  of  the  objectives  provided  for  in 
Article 2  of  the  CFP  Regulation.  Advisory  Councils  are  composed  of  organisations 
representing the fisheries and aquaculture operators and of processing and marketing sectors, 
as well as other interest groups (such as environmental organisations and consumer groups).  

Article 46  of  the  CFP  Regulation  sets  out  the  conditions  under  which  the  Commission  can 
adopt delegated acts.  

2. Legal basis 

This  report  is  required  under  Article 46(2)  of  the  CFP  Regulation.  According  to  this 
provision,  the powers to adopt  delegated acts  referred to  in  Article 11(2), Article 15(2),  (3), 
(6),  (7)  and  Article 45(4)  are  conferred  on  the  Commission  for  a  period  of  5  years  from 
29 December 2013.  The  Commission  is  required  to  prepare  a  report  on  the  delegation  of 
powers no later than 9 months before the end of the 5-year period. The first report, covering 
the  period  from  the  publication  of  the  CFP  Regulation  (11 December  2013)  to  1 December 
2017, was published on 26 February 201813 and adopted before the end of the 5-year period of 
29 December 2018.  The  delegated  powers  are  automatically  extended  for  5-year  periods, 
unless the European Parliament or the Council opposes such an extension in accordance with 
Article 46 of the CFP Regulation. In the absence of any opposition by the co-legislators, the 
delegation of powers was tacitly prolonged for another 5 years, until 29 December 2023. 

The CFP Regulation empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts for: 

a)  conservation  measures  necessary  for  compliance  with  certain  obligations  under  EU 
environmental legislation (Article 11(2) of the CFP Regulation); 

b)  integrating  the  EU’s  international  obligations  into  EU  law,  including,  in  particular 
derogations from the landing obligation (Article 15(2) of the CFP Regulation); 

c)  extending  the  application  of  the  landing  obligation  to  species  other  than  those  listed  in 
Article 15(1) where a joint recommendation for this purpose is submitted to the Commission 
(Article 15(3) of the CFP Regulation); 

d)  establishing  specific  temporary  discard  plans  containing,  among  other  exemptions,  de 
minimis and high survivality exemptions from the landing obligation for a temporary period 
of no more than 3 years that may be renewed for a further total period of  3 years, where no 
multiannual plan or management plan is adopted for the fishery in question (Article 15(6) of 
the CFP Regulation); 

e)  setting  de  minimis  exemptions  from  the  landing  obligation  of  no  more  than  5%  of  total 
annual  catches  of  all  species  to  which  the  landing  obligation  applies  under  Article 15(1), 
where  no  measures  have  been  adopted  for  this  purpose  either  in  a  multiannual  plan  or  in  a 
specific discard plan (Article 15(7) of the CFP Regulation); and

f)  laying  down  detailed  rules  on  the  functioning  of  Advisory  Councils  (Article 45(4)  of  the 
CFP Regulation). 

Delegated  acts  with  similar  content,  but  which  were  adopted  based  on  empowerments  of 
regulations other than the CFP Regulation are not covered by this report. This is in particular 
the case for technical measures adopted on the basis of the relevant articles of the Technical 
Measures  Regulation14.  Delegated  acts  setting  out  measures  to  implement  the  landing 
obligation adopted on the basis of the following articles are also not covered by this report: 

1)  Article 7 of the Baltic multiannual plan15;  
2)  Article 11 of the North Sea multiannual plan16; 
3)  Article 13 of the Western Waters multiannual plan17; 
4)  Article 14 of the Western Mediterranean multiannual plan18. 

The  Commission  will  draw  up  reports  on  the  delegation  of  powers  conferred  to  it  by  those 
regulations following their respective conditions. 

3. Exercise of the delegation of powers 

3.1. Procedural aspects 

The Commission’s delegated powers, granted under Article 11(2) and Article 15(3) and (6) of 
the  CFP  Regulation,  are  subject  to  regionalisation  provided  for  under  Article 18.  Member 
States having a direct management interest affected by the measures concerned may agree to 
submit  joint  recommendations  for  achieving  the  objectives  of  the  relevant  EU  conservation 
measures or the specific discard plan. When shaping joint recommendations for Commission 
delegated  acts  under  regionalisation,  Member  States  have  to  consult  the  relevant  Advisory 
Councils.  If  Member  States  do  not  agree  on  joint  recommendations  or  if  the  joint 
recommendations are deemed incompatible with the objectives and quantifiable targets of the 
conservation  measures  in  question,  the  Commission  may  submit  a  proposal  for  appropriate

Regulation (EU) 2016/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 2016 establishing a 
multiannual  plan  for  the  stocks  of  cod,  herring  and  sprat  in  the  Baltic  Sea  and  the  fisheries  exploiting  those 
stocks, amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2187/2005 and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1098/2007 
(OJ L 191, 15.7.2016, p. 1).

Regulation (EU) 2019/472 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2019 
establishing a multiannual plan for stocks fished in the Western Waters and adjacent waters, and for fisheries 
exploiting those stocks, amending Regulations (EU) 2016/1139 and (EU) 2018/973, and repealing Council 
Regulations (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007 and (EC) No 1300/2008 
(OJ L 83, 25.3.2019, p. 1.). 
18 
Regulation (EU) 2019/1022 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 
establishing a multiannual plan for the fisheries exploiting demersal stocks in the western Mediterranean Sea 
and amending Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 (OJ L 172, 26.6.2019).

measures in accordance with the Treaty. In each sea basin, except for the Black Sea with only 
two Member States,  multiple  Member States collaborate on conservation  measures  for their 
fisheries within Member States regional groups. Seven such groups are in place: BaltFish; the 
North-Western  Waters  Group;  the  Scheveningen  Group;  the  South-Western  Waters  Group; 
PescaMed; ADRIATICA; and SudEstMed. 

Where  relevant  and  in  accordance  with  the  requirements,  the  draft  delegated  acts  based  on 
Articles  11(2)  and  15(3),  (6)  and  (7)  of  the  CFP  Regulation  have  been  submitted  to  the 
Scientific,  Technical  and  Economic  Committee  for  Fisheries  (STECF)  established  by 
Commission Decision 2005/629/EC19 to take into account the best available scientific advice.  

Member  States  also  consulted  the  relevant  Advisory  Councils  when  formulating  the  joint 
recommendations.  Some  acts  were  also  discussed  during  the  Commission’s  regular 
coordination meetings with all Advisory Councils (Inter-AC coordination meetings). 

Finally, the draft delegated acts based on the empowerments included in the CFP Regulation 
have all been submitted to the Expert Group for Fisheries and Aquaculture that was set up to 
ensure  appropriate  expert  consultation  for  the  preparation  of  delegated  acts.  The  European 
Parliament  and  the  European  Fisheries  Control  Agency  are  invited  to  the  meetings  of  this 
Expert  Group  as  observers.  The  documents  relevant  to  these  consultations  were  submitted 
simultaneously  to  the  European  Parliament  and  to  the  Council  in  line  with  the  Common 
Understanding  on  delegated  acts.  After  adoption,  the  delegated  acts  were  all  notified  to  the 
European  Parliament  and  to  the  Council.  To  date,  the  European  Parliament  has  objected  to 
one  delegated  act  adopted  by  the  Commission  under  the  CFP  Regulation  concerning  the 
protection  of  the  marine  environment  in  the  North  Sea20.  It  did  so  within  2  months,  in  line 
with Article 46(5) of the CFP Regulation. This proposal has therefore not entered into force. 
For some other delegated acts, the European Parliament has requested to extend the deadline 
for 2 more months.  

3.2. List of delegated acts adopted under the CFP Regulation
