   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on Community statistics on public health and health and safety at work (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
   Having regard to the requests made by the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Republic of Finland,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               In accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1338/2008, it applies to the production of statistics on causes of death as defined in Annex III.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Article 9(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1338/2008 provides, if necessary, for derogations and transition periods for Member States, both to be based upon objective grounds.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               It emerges from the information provided to the Commission that the requests for derogations made by Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Netherlands and Finland result from the need for major adaptations to national statistical systems in order to comply in full with Regulation (EC) No 1338/2008.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Such derogations should be therefore granted as requested to those Member States.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,
