   1.        CONTEXT OF THE DELEGATED ACT
   Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 of the European Parliament and Council
   establishing a common framework for European statistics relating to persons and households,
   based on data at individual level collected from samples, empowers the Commission to adopt
   delegated acts to supplement that Regulation by establishing or adapting a system of
   multiannual rolling planning. This planning system will:
             (a)      be adopted for a period of eight years;
             (b)      cover the collection of data under the Regulation;
             (c)      ensure that samples are collected at regular intervals, according to
                      periodicities specified in Annex IV;
             (d)      specify the period during which data are to be collected:
                      (i)   the detailed topics attached to the domains listed in Annex I;
                      (ii)  ad-hoc subjects requested by users for the labour force and income
                            and living conditions domains, as provided for in Annex IV.
   To implement Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 in 2021, this delegated Commission Regulation
   defines the first system of multiannual rolling planning to be used for the eight years from
   2021.
   2.        CONSULTATIONS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE ACT
   In preparing this delegated act, the Commission has conducted appropriate consultations. It
   has consulted national experts invited to expert meetings to discuss the draft act. These
   consultations took place at the meetings of the European Directors of Social Statistics held on
   23-24 May 2019 and 27-28 June 2019.
   The Commission has also consulted the expert group representing the National Statistical
   Institutes of the European Statistical System.
   Finally, it has kept the European Parliament and the Council informed of the consultations.
   3.        LEGAL COMPONENTS OF THE DELEGATED ACT
   The purpose of this delegated act on the system of multiannual rolling planning is to specify
   the periods during which data are to be collected on the detailed topics attached to domains
   listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 and ad-hoc subjects requested by users for the
   labour force domain and the income and living conditions domain, as provided for in Annex
   IV to Regulation (EU) 2019/1700. The act establishes the frequency with which data
   collections are to be held (periodicity). First, it establishes the period during which data are to
   be collected for data collections with one periodicity as defined in Annex IV of Regulation
   (EU) 2019/1700. Second, it groups the detailed topics by periodicity and sets the data
   collection period for data collections with several periodicities.
