PURPOSE: alignment of Regulations (EC) No\n2008/97, (EC) No 779/98 and (EC) No 1506/98 with the new provisions\nforeseen under Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty, following the\nentry into force of the Lisbon Treaty.
\nPROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European\nParliament and of the Council.
\nBACKGROUND: Articles\n290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union\n(TFEU) distinguish two different types of Commission\nacts:
\nIMPACT ASSESSMENT: there was no need for consultation\nof interested parties or for an impact analysis since the proposal\nto align Council Regulations (EC) No 2008/97, (EC) No 779/98 and\n(EC) No 1506/98 with the TFEU is an inter-institutional matter that\nwill concern all Council Regulations.
\nLEGAL BASIS: Article\n207 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union\n(TFEU).
\nCONTENT: the\nobjective of the present proposal consists in aligning three\nCouncil Regulations in the field of imports of olive oil and other\nagricultural products from Turkey with those provisions of the\nTFEU. As a consequence of the entry into force of the Lisbon\nTreaty, the powers conferred upon the Commission under those\nregulations need to be aligned. It is necessary to re-classify the\npowers conferred upon the Commission into delegated and\nimplementing powers and to amend the regulations above.
\nBUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: the proposal has no financial\nimpact on budgetary expenditure and revenue.
\nThe Committee on International Trade adopted the\nreport by Vital MOREIRA (ALDE, PT) on the proposal for a regulation\nof the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council\nRegulations (EC) No 2008/97, (EC) No 779/98 and (EC) No 1506/98 in\nthe field of imports of olive oil and other agricultural products\nfrom Turkey as regards the delegated and implementing powers to be\nconferred on the Commission.

\n\n· \nthe delegation of power shall be conferred on\nthe Commission for a period of five years (rather than for an\nindeterminate period, as the Commission had\nproposed);
\n\n· \nthe Commission shall draw up a report in\nrespect of the delegation of power not later than nine months\nbefore the end of the five-year period. The delegation of power\nshall be tacitly extended for periods of an identical duration,\nunless the European Parliament or the Council opposes such\nextension not later than three months before the end of each\nperiod;
\n\n· \nthe European Parliament and Council will have\nfour months (rather than two) to object to a delegated\nact.
\nWritten procedure in committee: the Commission shall be assisted by a Committee\nwithin the meaning of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011. Where the\nopinion of the committee is to be obtained by written procedure,\nthat procedure shall be terminated without result when,\nwithin the time-limit for delivery of the opinion, the chair of the\ncommittee so decides or a majority of committee members so\nrequest.
