COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2025/83

of 17 January 2025

amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1237 as regards certain reporting requirements in hemp notifications

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 [(1)](#ntr1-L_202500083EN.000101-E0001), and in particular Article 223(2) thereof,

Whereas:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (1) | Reporting requirements play a key role in ensuring proper monitoring and correct enforcement of legislation. However, it is important to streamline those requirements in order to ensure that they fulfil the purpose for which they were intended and to limit the administrative burden. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (2) | Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1237 [(2)](#ntr2-L_202500083EN.000101-E0002) supplements Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 with regard to the system of licences for agricultural products including the list of products subject to the presentation of an import or export licence. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (3) | Article 8, point (c), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1237 provides for the nature and type of information to be notified as regards hemp. In particular, it provides, among others, for the obligation of Member States to notify the Commission of the provisions adopted regarding the import licences of hemp products and to inform the Commission of the penalties imposed or steps taken as a result of irregularities discovered. To alleviate the administrative burden from Member States and considering that it is not necessary to impose an obligation of systematic and annual notification of this information that Member States can make available to the Commission on demand, those reporting requirements should therefore not be required anymore. This is in line with the Commission’s Communication on ‘Long-term competitiveness of the EU: looking beyond 2030’ [(3)](#ntr3-L_202500083EN.000101-E0003). |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (4) | Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1237 should therefore be amended accordingly, |

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Article 8 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1237, point (c) is replaced by the following:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| ‘(c) | as regards hemp, the competent authorities for checks referred to in Article 17(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1239;’. |

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 17 January 2025.

For the Commission

The President

Ursula VON DER LEYEN
