Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) If Union surveillance is applied, release for free circulation of the products concerned should be made subject to presentation of an import surveillance document meeting uniform criteria. That document should, on simple application by the importer, be endorsed by the authorities of the Member States within a certain period but without the importer thereby acquiring any right to import. The document should therefore be valid only during such period as the import rules remain unchanged. (This amendment applies throughout the text. Adopting it will necessitate corresponding changes throughout.)

Article 24 b (new)
Article 24b The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 26 of this Regulation to subject re- imports not covered by this Chapter and Annex V to specific quantitative limits, provided that the products concerned are subject to the quantitative limits laid down in Articles 2, 3 and 4 of this Regulation.

Article 24 c (new)
Article 24 c (new)
Article 24c 1. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 26 of this Regulation to effect transfers between categories of products set out in section A of Annex I and advance use or carry-over of portions of specific quantitative limits referred to in Article 24b from one year to another. Where a delay in the imposition of measures referred to in the first subparagraph would cause damage by impeding outward processing trade given the legal requirement to operate such transfers from one year to the next, and such damage would be difficult to repair, and therefore imperative grounds of urgency so require, the procedure provided for in Article 27 of this Regulation shall apply to delegated acts adopted pursuant to the first subparagraph. 2. However, automatic transfers in accordance with paragraph 1 may be carried out within the following limits: – transfer between categories of products set out in section A of Annex I for up to 20 % of the quantitative limit established for the category to which the transfer is made, – carry-over of a specific quantitative limit from one year to another for up to 10,5 % of the quantitative limit established for the actual year of utilization, – advance use of a specific quantitative limit for up to 7,5 % of the quantitative limit established for the actual year of utilization. 3. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 26 of this Regulation to adjust the specific quantitative limits where there is a need for additional imports. Where a delay in the adjustment of the specific quantitative limits, where there is a need for additional imports, would cause damage by impeding access to such required additional imports which would be difficult to repair, and therefore imperative grounds of urgency so require, the procedure provided for in Article 27 of this Regulation shall apply to delegated acts adopted pursuant to the first subparagraph. 4. The Commission shall inform the third country or countries concerned of any measures taken pursuant to the preceding paragraphs.

1. The power to adopt 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 3(3), Article 5(2), Article 12(3) and Articles 13 and 30 as well as in Article 24b and Article 24c(1) and (3) shall be conferred on the Commission for a period of five years from 20 February 2014. The Commission shall draw up a report in respect of the delegation of power not later than nine 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 three months before the end of each period. 3. The delegation of power referred to in Article 3(3), Article 5(2), Article 12(3) and Articles 13 and 30 as well as in Article 24b and Article 24c(1) and (3) may be revoked at any time by the European Parliament or by the Council. A decision to revoke shall put an end to the delegation of power specified in that decision. 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 5(2) and Articles 13 and 30 shall enter into force only if no objection has been expressed either by the European Parliament or the Council within a period of two 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 two months at the initiative of the European Parliament or of the Council. 6. A delegated act adopted pursuant to Article 3(3) and Article 12(3) as well as pursuant to Article 24b and Article 24c(1) and (3) shall enter into force only if no objection has been expressed either by the European Parliament or the Council within a period of two 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.
