         REGULATION (EU) No 1337/2011 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
   of 13 December 2011
   concerning European statistics on permanent crops and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 and Directive 2001/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 338(1) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
   After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
   Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Council Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 of 5 February 1979 on statistical surveys of areas under vines (2) and Directive 2001/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 December 2001 concerning the statistical surveys to be carried out by the Member States in order to determine the production potential of plantations of certain species of fruit trees (3) have been amended several times. As further amendments and simplifications are now necessary, those acts should, for reasons of clarity and in accordance with the new approach to the simplification of Union legislation and better regulation, be replaced by one single act.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               In order to perform the task conferred upon it by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and by Union legislation governing the common organisation of agricultural markets, the Commission needs to be kept accurately informed about the production potential of plantations of certain species of permanent crops within the Union. In order to ensure that the common agricultural policy is properly administered, the Commission requires data on permanent crops to be regularly provided on a five-year basis.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2009 on European statistics (4) provides a reference framework for European statistics on permanent crops. In particular, that Regulation requires conformity with principles of professional independence, impartiality, objectivity, reliability, statistical confidentiality and cost-effectiveness.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               It is necessary to strengthen cooperation between the authorities involved in the drawing up and the publication of European statistics.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               When preparing and drawing up European statistics, account should be taken of international recommendations and best practices.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               Structural statistics on permanent crops should be available in order to ensure that the production potential and the market situation can be monitored. In addition to the information provided in the context of the single Common Market Organisation, information on the regional breakdown of statistics is essential. The Member States should therefore be required to collect this information and send it to the Commission on certain fixed dates.
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               Structural statistics on permanent crops are essential for the management of markets at Union level. It is also essential for structural statistics on permanent crops to be covered in addition to the annual statistics on areas and production governed by other Union legislation concerning statistics.
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               To avoid placing an unnecessary burden on farms and administrations, thresholds should be established that exclude non-relevant entities from the basic entities in respect of which statistics on permanent crops are to be collected.
            
         
               (9)
            
            
               To guarantee the harmonisation of data, it is necessary to clearly state the most important definitions, the reference periods and the precision requirements to be applied in the production of statistics on permanent crops.
            
         
               (10)
            
            
               To guarantee the availability of these statistics to users within the necessary timeframe, a time schedule for transmitting the data to the Commission should be established.
            
         
               (11)
            
            
               In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) (5), all Member State statistics transmitted to the Commission which are broken down by territorial unit are to use the NUTS classification. Consequently, in order to establish comparable regional statistics on permanent crops, the territorial units should be defined in accordance with the NUTS classification. However, since, for sound management of the wine and vine sector, other territorial breakdowns are necessary, different territorial units can be specified for that sector.
            
         
               (12)
            
            
               Methodological and quality reports are essential in order to assess the quality of the data and to analyse the results, and such reports should therefore be provided on a regular basis.
            
         
               (13)
            
            
               Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the establishment of a common framework for the systematic production of European statistics on permanent crops, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that objective.
            
         
               (14)
            
            
               In order to ensure a smooth transition from the regime applicable under Directive 2001/109/EC, this Regulation should allow for the granting of a derogation to Member States where the application of this Regulation to their national statistical systems would require major adaptations and would be likely to cause significant practical problems.
            
         
               (15)
            
            
               In order to take into account economic and technical developments, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of amending the breakdowns of species by groups, density classes and age classes set out in Annex I and the variables/characteristics, size classes, degree of specialisation and vine varieties set out in Annex II, except in respect of the optional nature of the required information. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out the appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing-up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.
            
         
               (16)
            
            
               In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by the Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers (6).
            
         
               (17)
            
            
               Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 and Directive 2001/109/EC should be repealed.
            
         
               (18)
            
            
               In order to ensure the continuity of activities provided in the framework for European statistics on permanent crops, this Regulation should enter into force the day following its publication and apply from 1 January 2012.
            
         
               (19)
            
            
               The Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics has been consulted,
            
         HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   Article 10
   Derogation
   1.   Where the application of this Regulation to the national statistical system of a Member State requires major adaptations and is likely to cause significant practical problems with regard to the permanent crops referred to in points (a) to (l) of Article 1(1), the Commission may adopt implementing acts granting a derogation from its application to that Member State until 31 December 2012.

   2.   For the purposes of paragraph 1, a Member State shall present a duly justified request to the Commission not later than 1 February 2012.
   3.   Those Member States benefiting from a derogation shall continue to apply Directive 2001/109/EC.

   Exercise of delegation
   1.   The power to adopt the delegated acts is conferred on the Commission subject to the conditions laid down in this Article.
   2.   The power to adopt delegated acts referred to in Article 4(3) and Article 13 shall be conferred on the Commission for a period of 5 years from 31 December 2011. The Commission shall draw up a report in respect of the delegation of power not later than 9 months before the end of the five-year period. The delegation of power shall be tacitly extended for periods of an identical duration, unless the European Parliament or the Council opposes such extension not later than 3 months before the end of each period.
   3.   The delegation of power referred to in Article 4(3) and Article 13 may be revoked at any time by the European Parliament or by the Council.

It shall take effect the day following the publication of the decision in the Official Journal of the European Union or at a later date specified therein. It shall not affect the validity of any delegated acts already in force.
   4.   As soon as it adopts a delegated act, the Commission shall notify it simultaneously to the European Parliament and to the Council.
   5.   A delegated act adopted pursuant to Article 4(3) and Article 13 shall enter into force only if no objection has been expressed either by the European Parliament or the Council within a period of 2 months of notification of that act to the European Parliament and the Council or if, before the expiry of that period, the European Parliament and the Council have both informed the Commission that they will not object. That period shall be extended by 2 months at the initiative of the European Parliament or of the Council.
   Article 12
   Committee Procedure
   1.   The Commission shall be assisted by the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics established by Article 1 of Council Decision 72/279/EEC of 31 July 1972 setting up a Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics (10). That Committee shall be a committee within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011.

In the context of this review, the Commission shall assess whether it is necessary to produce all the data referred to in Article 4. Where the Commission considers that some of those data are no longer required, it shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 11 that delete certain data from Annexes I and II.
