PURPOSE: to amend Directives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC,\n2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC as regards the powers to\nbe conferred on the Commission (delegated and implanting\nacts.)
\nPROPOSED ACT: Directive of the European Parliament and\nof the Council
\nBACKGROUND: following entry into force of the Treaty\nof Lisbon, the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU) makes a\ndistinction between the powers delegated to the Commission\nto adopt non-legislative acts of general application to supplement\nor amend certain nonessential elements of the legislative act as\nlaid down in Article 290(1) of the Treaty (delegated acts),\nand the powers conferred upon the Commission to adopt uniform\nconditions for implementing legally binding Union acts as laid down\nin Article 291(2) of the Treaty (implementing\nacts).
\nThe aim is to align the existing Commission\nimplementing powers in Directives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC,\n2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC to the differentiation\nbetween delegated and implementing powers of the Commission\nintroduced by Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning\nof the European Union (TFUE) and to confer additional delegated\npowers on the Commission.
\nIMPACT ASSESSMENT: there was no need of impact\nassessment since the proposal is an inter-institutional matter that\nwill concern all Council and/or Council and European Parliament\nacts.
\nLEGAL BASIS: Articles 43 and 114 of the Treaty on the\nFunctioning of the European Union.
\nCONTENT : the proposal aims to identify the\ndelegated and implementing powers that should be conferred upon the\nCommission as regards Directives 1999/4/EC (relating to coffee\nextracts and chicory extracts), 2000/36/EC (relating to cocoa and\nchocolate products intended for human consumption), 2001/111/EC\n(relating to certain sugars intended for human consumption),\n2001/113/EC (relating to fruit jams, jellies and marmalades and\nsweetened chestnut purée) and 2001/114/EC (relating to\ncertain partly or wholly dehydrated preserved milk for human\nconsumption) and establish the corresponding procedure for adoption\nof these acts in the new legal context determined by the entry into\nforce of Articles 290 and 291 of the TFUE.
\nThe proposal ensures that the Commission shall be\nempowered to adopt appropriate acts to amend the Annexes to take\naccount of the developments in relevant international\nstandards.
\nBUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: the\nproposal has no implications for the EU budget.

\nThe proposal ensures that the Commission shall be\nempowered to adopt appropriate acts to amend the Annexes to take\naccount of the developments in relevant international\nstandards.
\nBUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: the\nproposal has no implications for the EU budget.
\nThe Committee on the Environment, Public Health and\nFood Safety adopted the report by Matthias GROOTE (S&D, DE) on\nthe proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the\nCouncil amending Directives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC,\n2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC as regards the powers to be conferred\non the Commission.
\nThe committee recommends that the European\nParliaments position adopted at first reading, following the\nordinary legislative procedure, should amend the Commission\nproposal.
\nThe new regulation seeks to allow the Commission to\namend, through delegated acts, the technical characteristics\nrelated to the product descriptions and definitions in the Annexes\nto Directives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and\n2001/114/EC.
\nMembers consider that this explicit delegation\nto amend characteristics that will affect the descriptions,\ndefinitions or names of products - which are essential elements of\nthe Directives reaches beyond the scope of delegated\nacts according to Article 290 of the Treaty, which limits the\ndelegation to supplement or amend certain non-essential elements of\nthe legislative act only.
\nIn order to properly include only non-essential\nelements and avoid ambiguity about the extent to which the\nCommission can adopt delegated acts that will affect essential\nelements such as the definition of products, Members propose\nto:
\n- limit the delegation of powers for:
\n- delete those provisions for delegated acts which\nrelate to technical elements that affect product descriptions,\ndefinitions, names or sales names, and characteristics.
\nThe report also proposes to limit the delegation to\na (renewable) 5-year period and to monitor the delegation of\npowers by requesting the Commission to report in this respect\nbefore the end of each 5-year period.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 670 votes to 16,\nwith 10 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a\nregulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending\nDirectives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and\n2001/114/EC as regards the powers to be conferred on the\nCommission.
\nParliament adopted its position following the ordinary\nlegislative procedure. The amendments adopted in plenary are the\nresult of a compromise negotiated between the European Parliament\nand the Council.
\nThe amendments made to the proposal clarify that this\nRegulation is limited to aligning the existing conferral of\npowers on the Commission under Directives 1999/4/EC,\n2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC to Article 290\nTFEU and, where appropriate, to reviewing the scope of those\npowers.
\nThe amended text states that the Commission shall\nbe empowered to adopt delegated acts in order to take into\naccount technical progress and developments in relevant\ninternational standards.
\nThe power to adopt delegated acts shall be conferred\non the Commission for a period of five years from the entry\ninto force of the Regulation. The Commission shall draw up a report\nin respect of the delegation of power not later than nine months\nbefore the end of the five-year period.
\nThe delegation of power shall be tacitly extended for\nperiods of an identical duration, unless the European Parliament or\nthe Council opposes such extension not later than three months\nbefore the end of each period.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 670 votes to 16,\nwith 10 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a\nregulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending\nDirectives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and\n2001/114/EC as regards the powers to be conferred on the\nCommission.

\nPURPOSE: to amend Directives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC,\n2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC as regards the powers to\nbe conferred on the Commission (delegated and implanting\nacts.)
\nPROPOSED ACT: Directive of the European Parliament and\nof the Council
\nBACKGROUND: following entry into force of the Treaty\nof Lisbon, the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU) makes a\ndistinction between the powers delegated to the Commission\nto adopt non-legislative acts of general application to supplement\nor amend certain nonessential elements of the legislative act as\nlaid down in Article 290(1) of the Treaty (delegated acts),\nand the powers conferred upon the Commission to adopt uniform\nconditions for implementing legally binding Union acts as laid down\nin Article 291(2) of the Treaty (implementing\nacts).
\nThe aim is to align the existing Commission\nimplementing powers in Directives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC,\n2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC to the differentiation\nbetween delegated and implementing powers of the Commission\nintroduced by Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning\nof the European Union (TFUE) and to confer additional delegated\npowers on the Commission.
\nIMPACT ASSESSMENT: there was no need of impact\nassessment since the proposal is an inter-institutional matter that\nwill concern all Council and/or Council and European Parliament\nacts.
\nLEGAL BASIS: Articles 43 and 114 of the Treaty on the\nFunctioning of the European Union.
\nCONTENT : the proposal aims to identify the\ndelegated and implementing powers that should be conferred upon the\nCommission as regards Directives 1999/4/EC (relating to coffee\nextracts and chicory extracts), 2000/36/EC (relating to cocoa and\nchocolate products intended for human consumption), 2001/111/EC\n(relating to certain sugars intended for human consumption),\n2001/113/EC (relating to fruit jams, jellies and marmalades and\nsweetened chestnut purée) and 2001/114/EC (relating to\ncertain partly or wholly dehydrated preserved milk for human\nconsumption) and establish the corresponding procedure for adoption\nof these acts in the new legal context determined by the entry into\nforce of Articles 290 and 291 of the TFUE.
\nThe proposal ensures that the Commission shall be\nempowered to adopt appropriate acts to amend the Annexes to take\naccount of the developments in relevant international\nstandards.
\nBUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: the\nproposal has no implications for the EU budget.
\nThe Committee on the Environment, Public Health and\nFood Safety adopted the report by Matthias GROOTE (S&D, DE) on\nthe proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the\nCouncil amending Directives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC,\n2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC as regards the powers to be conferred\non the Commission.
\nThe committee recommends that the European\nParliaments position adopted at first reading, following the\nordinary legislative procedure, should amend the Commission\nproposal.
\nThe new regulation seeks to allow the Commission to\namend, through delegated acts, the technical characteristics\nrelated to the product descriptions and definitions in the Annexes\nto Directives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and\n2001/114/EC.
\nMembers consider that this explicit delegation\nto amend characteristics that will affect the descriptions,\ndefinitions or names of products - which are essential elements of\nthe Directives reaches beyond the scope of delegated\nacts according to Article 290 of the Treaty, which limits the\ndelegation to supplement or amend certain non-essential elements of\nthe legislative act only.
\nIn order to properly include only non-essential\nelements and avoid ambiguity about the extent to which the\nCommission can adopt delegated acts that will affect essential\nelements such as the definition of products, Members propose\nto:
\n- limit the delegation of powers for:
\n- delete those provisions for delegated acts which\nrelate to technical elements that affect product descriptions,\ndefinitions, names or sales names, and characteristics.
\nThe report also proposes to limit the delegation to\na (renewable) 5-year period and to monitor the delegation of\npowers by requesting the Commission to report in this respect\nbefore the end of each 5-year period.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 670 votes to 16,\nwith 10 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a\nregulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending\nDirectives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and\n2001/114/EC as regards the powers to be conferred on the\nCommission.
\nParliament adopted its position following the ordinary\nlegislative procedure. The amendments adopted in plenary are the\nresult of a compromise negotiated between the European Parliament\nand the Council.
\nThe amendments made to the proposal clarify that this\nRegulation is limited to aligning the existing conferral of\npowers on the Commission under Directives 1999/4/EC,\n2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC to Article 290\nTFEU and, where appropriate, to reviewing the scope of those\npowers.
\nThe amended text states that the Commission shall\nbe empowered to adopt delegated acts in order to take into\naccount technical progress and developments in relevant\ninternational standards.
\nThe power to adopt delegated acts shall be conferred\non the Commission for a period of five years from the entry\ninto force of the Regulation. The Commission shall draw up a report\nin respect of the delegation of power not later than nine months\nbefore the end of the five-year period.
\nThe delegation of power shall be tacitly extended for\nperiods of an identical duration, unless the European Parliament or\nthe Council opposes such extension not later than three months\nbefore the end of each period.
\nPURPOSE: to amend\nDirectives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and\n2001/114/EC (known as the breakfast directives) as\nregards the powers to be conferred on the Commission (delegated\npowers).
\nLEGISLATIVE ACT: Regulation (EU) No 1021/2013 of the\nEuropean Parliament and of the Council amending Directives\n1999/4/EC and 2000/36/EC as well as Council Directives 2001/111/EC,\n2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC as regards the powers to be conferred\non the Commission.
\nCONTENT: the regulation aims to align the existing\nCommission implementing powers provided by the five so-called\nbreakfast directives with the Treaty on the\nFunctioning of the European Union (TFUE) and in particular with\nArticle 290 which allows the Commission to adopt\ndelegated acts. This adoption follows a first reading\nagreement with the European Parliament.
\nThe five so-called breakfast directives\nrelate to:
\n\n· \ncoffee and chicory extracts (Directive\n1999/4/EC);
\n\n· \ncocoa and chocolate products (Directive\n2000/36/EC);
\n\n· \nsugars (Directive 2001/111/EC);
\n\n· \nfruit jams, jellies and marmalades (Directive\n2001/113/EC);
\n\n· \ndehydrated milk (Directive\n2001/114/EC).
\nThe proposal ensures that the Commission shall be\nempowered to adopt appropriate acts to amend the Annexes to\ntake account of technical progress and the developments in\nrelevant international standards.
\nThe power to adopt delegated acts shall be conferred\non the Commission for a period of five years from 18 November\n2013, this period to be tacitly extended for periods of an\nidentical duration.
\nThe time allowed to Parliament and to the Council to\nobject to a delegated act shall be two months from the\nnotification of this act. The period may be extended by two\nmonths at the initiative of the European Parliament or of the\nCouncil.
\nENTRY INTO FORCE: 18/11/2013.
