PURPOSE: to align a\nnumber of legal acts to the Treaty on the Functioning of the\nEuropean Union (Article 290, powers delegated to the\nCommission).
\nPROPOSED ACT:\nRegulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.
\nROLE OF THE\nEUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance\nwith the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing\nwith the Council.
\nBACKGROUND: the\nTreaty of Lisbon introduced the possibility for the legislator to\ndelegate power to the Commission to adopt non-legislative acts of\ngeneral application to supplement or amend certain non-essential\nelements of a legislative act.
\nThe measures which\ncan be covered by delegations of powers, as referred to in Article\n290(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union\n(TFEU), correspond in principle to those covered by the regulatory\nprocedure with scrutiny established by Article 5a of Council\nDecision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for\nthe exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission\n(the Comitology Decision).
\nIt is necessary to\nadapt to Article 290 of the TFEU a number of legal acts already in\nforce which provide for the use of the regulatory procedure with\nscrutiny.
\nThe overall\nobjective of the Commission is that, by the end of the 7th term\nof the Parliament, all provisions referring to the regulatory\nprocedure with scrutiny would have been removed from all\nlegislative instruments.
\nAt the end of 2012,\n288 legislative acts still containing references to the RPS were\nidentified. Around 60 of them are currently in the legislative\nprocess and therefore are not concerned by the present\nproposal.
\nIMPACT ASSESSMENT:\nthe Commission has carried out a careful examination of all\nlegislative instruments still referring to the RPS in order to\nanalyse whether the RPS measures covered by the Comitology Decision\nmeet the criteria of Article 290 TFEU.
\nLEGAL BASIS:\nArticles 33, 43(2), 53(1), 62, 64(2), 91, 100(2), 114, 153(2)(b),\n168(4)(b), 172, 192(1), 207 and 338(1) of the Treaty on the\nFunctioning of the European Union (TFEU).
\nCONTENT: this\nproposal is one of three proposals adapting a number of legislative\ninstruments referring to the RPS to the criteria laid down in the\nTreaty. It provides for a transformation of the RPS
\ninto delegated acts\nfor the basic legislative acts which are listed in the annex. It is\nbased on the legal bases of all the basic acts concerned.
\nAccordingly, the\npresent framework regulation provides that where instruments listed\nin the annex make reference to the procedure referred to in Article\n5a of the Comitology Decision, the Commission is empowered to\nadopt delegated acts.
\nIn cases where there\nare curtailed time-limits for opposition, in accordance with\nArticle 5a(5)(b) of the Comitology Decision, the proposal provides\nfor a time-limit for objection of 1 month.
\nThe proposal adapts\nthe urgency procedure according to Article 5a(6) of the Comitology\nDecision to the urgency procedure for delegated acts.
\nAnother separate\nregulation is proposed for\nthe legislative acts in the area of Justice which refer to the\nRPS.

The Committee on Legal Affairs adopted the report by\nJózsef SZÁJER (EPP, HU) on the proposal for a regulation\nof the European Parliament and of the Council adapting to Article\n290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union a number\nof legal acts providing for the use of the regulatory procedure\nwith scrutiny (RPS).
\nAt the time of adopting Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of\nthe European Parliament and of the Council on comitology, the\nCommission undertook to assess by the end of 2012 the legislative\nacts containing references to RPS that remained in force, in order\nto prepare the appropriate legislative initiatives to complete the\nadaptation to the new legal framework. The overall objective was\nthat, by the end of the 7th term of the Parliament, all\nprovisions referring to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny\nwould have been removed from all legislative\ninstruments.
\nIn keeping with that statement and further to the\nscreening of existing legislation, the Commission put forward three\nproposals for a regulation adapting to Article 290 TFEU a number of\nlegal acts providing for the use of the regulatory procedure with\nscrutiny (RPS). (Please see 2013/0220(COD)\nand 2013/0365(COD)).
\nThis report is related to a proposal covering 160\nlegislative acts in various policy areas. The Rapporteur proposed\nto the relevant committees that the three proposals should be\nregarded as a package, subject to the same timetable and adopted as\nsoon as possible, so that the alignment exercise can be completed,\nideally, by the end of the current legislative term. The report\ncontains a limited number of amendments that were suggested by the\nspecialised committees in their opinions.
\nThe committees amendments propose that the power\nto adopt delegated acts should be conferred on the Commission\nfor a period of five years from the date of entry into force of\nthe regulation (and not for an indeterminate period). The\ndelegation of power shall be tacitly extended for periods of an\nidentical duration, unless the European Parliament or the Council\nopposes such extension not later than three months before the end\nof each period.
\nOwing to the highly technical and complex nature of\nthe delegated acts in the remit of the Committee on Economic and\nMonetary Affairs, the report proposes that the time limit for\nobjections to the act should be three months, extendable by\na further three months at the initiative of the European Parliament\nor of the Council.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 480 votes to 48\nwith 15 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the\nEuropean Parliament and of the Council adapting to Article 290 of\nthe Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union a number of\nlegal acts providing for the use of the regulatory procedure with\nscrutiny (RPS).
\nTo recall, the Commission committed itself to\nassessing by the end of 2012 how many legislative acts containing\nreferences to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny\nremained in force, in order to prepare the appropriate legislative\ninitiatives and thus complete the adaptation to the new legal\nframework. The stated objective was that, by the end of the\nseventh term of Parliament, all provisions referring to the\nregulatory procedure with scrutiny would have been removed from all\nlegislative instruments.
\nThe Commission put forward three proposals\nfulfilling this commitment (Please see 2013/0220(COD) and 2013/0365(COD)).
\nThis resolution is related to a proposal\ncovering 160 legislative acts in various policy areas.
\nThe position adopted by Parliament in first reading\nfollowing the ordinary legislative procedure amended the\nproposal.
\nParliaments amendments proposed\nthat the power to adopt delegated acts should be conferred on the\nCommission for a period of five years from the date of\nentry into force of the regulation (and not for an\nindeterminate period). The delegation of power shall be tacitly\nextended for periods of an identical duration, unless the European\nParliament or the Council opposes such extension not later than\nthree months before the end of each period.
\nOwing to the highly technical and\ncomplex nature of the delegated acts in certain policy areas,\nParliament proposed that the time limit for objections to the act\nshould be three months, extendable by a further three\nmonths at the initiative of the European Parliament or of the\nCouncil.
\nPURPOSE: to align a number of legal acts to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (Article 290, powers delegated to the Commission).
\nPROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.
\nROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.

PURPOSE: to align a number of legal acts to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (Article 290, powers delegated to the Commission).
\nPROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.
\nROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
\nBACKGROUND: the Treaty of Lisbon introduced the possibility for the legislator to delegate power to the Commission to adopt non-legislative acts of general application to supplement or amend certain non-essential elements of a legislative act.
\nThe measures which can be covered by delegations of powers, as referred to in Article 290(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), correspond in principle to those covered by the regulatory procedure with scrutiny established by Article 5a of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (the Comitology Decision).
\nIt is necessary to adapt to Article 290 of the TFEU a number of legal acts already in force which provide for the use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny.
\nThe overall objective of the Commission is that, by the end of the 7th term of the Parliament, all provisions referring to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny (RPS) would have been removed from all legislative instruments.
\nAt the end of 2012, 288 legislative acts still containing references to the RPS were identified. Around 60 of them are currently in the legislative process and therefore are not concerned by the present proposal.
\nIMPACT ASSESSMENT: the Commission has carried out a careful examination of all legislative instruments still referring to the RPS in order to analyse whether the RPS measures covered by the Comitology Decision meet the criteria of Article 290 TFEU.
\nLEGAL BASIS: Articles 33, 43(2), 53(1), 62, 64(2), 91, 100(2), 114, 153(2)(b), 168(4)(b), 172, 192(1), 207 and 338(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
\nCONTENT: this proposal is one of three proposals adapting a number of legislative instruments referring to the RPS to the criteria laid down in the Treaty. It provides for a transformation of the RPS into delegated acts for the basic legislative acts which are listed in the annex. It is based on the legal bases of all the basic acts concerned.
\nAccordingly, the present framework regulation provides that where instruments listed in the annex make reference to the procedure referred to in Article 5a of the Comitology Decision, the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts.
\nIn cases where there are curtailed time-limits for opposition, in accordance with Article 5a(5)(b) of the Comitology Decision, the proposal provides for a time-limit for objection of 1 month.
\nThe proposal adapts the urgency procedure according to Article 5a(6) of the Comitology Decision to the urgency procedure for delegated acts.
\nAnother separate regulation is proposed for the legislative acts in the area of Justice which refer to the RPS. \n\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t

The Committee on Legal Affairs adopted the report by\nJózsef SZÁJER (EPP, HU) on the proposal for a regulation\nof the European Parliament and of the Council adapting to Article\n290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union a number\nof legal acts providing for the use of the regulatory procedure\nwith scrutiny (RPS).
\nAt the time of adopting Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of\nthe European Parliament and of the Council on comitology, the\nCommission undertook to assess by the end of 2012 the legislative\nacts containing references to RPS that remained in force, in order\nto prepare the appropriate legislative initiatives to complete the\nadaptation to the new legal framework. The overall objective was\nthat, by the end of the 7th term of the Parliament, all\nprovisions referring to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny\nwould have been removed from all legislative\ninstruments.
\nIn keeping with that statement and further to the\nscreening of existing legislation, the Commission put forward three\nproposals for a regulation adapting to Article 290 TFEU a number of\nlegal acts providing for the use of the regulatory procedure with\nscrutiny (RPS). (Please see 2013/0220(COD)\nand 2013/0365(COD)).
\nThis report is related to a proposal covering 160\nlegislative acts in various policy areas. The Rapporteur proposed\nto the relevant committees that the three proposals should be\nregarded as a package, subject to the same timetable and adopted as\nsoon as possible, so that the alignment exercise can be completed,\nideally, by the end of the current legislative term. The report\ncontains a limited number of amendments that were suggested by the\nspecialised committees in their opinions.
\nThe committees amendments propose that the power\nto adopt delegated acts should be conferred on the Commission\nfor a period of five years from the date of entry into force of\nthe regulation (and not for an indeterminate period). The\ndelegation of power shall be tacitly extended for periods of an\nidentical duration, unless the European Parliament or the Council\nopposes such extension not later than three months before the end\nof each period.
\nOwing to the highly technical and complex nature of\nthe delegated acts in the remit of the Committee on Economic and\nMonetary Affairs, the report proposes that the time limit for\nobjections to the act should be three months, extendable by\na further three months at the initiative of the European Parliament\nor of the Council.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 480 votes to 48\nwith 15 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the\nEuropean Parliament and of the Council adapting to Article 290 of\nthe Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union a number of\nlegal acts providing for the use of the regulatory procedure with\nscrutiny (RPS).
\nTo recall, the Commission committed itself to\nassessing by the end of 2012 how many legislative acts containing\nreferences to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny\nremained in force, in order to prepare the appropriate legislative\ninitiatives and thus complete the adaptation to the new legal\nframework. The stated objective was that, by the end of the\nseventh term of Parliament, all provisions referring to the\nregulatory procedure with scrutiny would have been removed from all\nlegislative instruments.
\nThe Commission put forward three proposals\nfulfilling this commitment (Please see 2013/0220(COD) and 2013/0365(COD)).
\nThis resolution is related to a proposal\ncovering 160 legislative acts in various policy areas.
\nThe position adopted by Parliament in first reading\nfollowing the ordinary legislative procedure amended the\nproposal.
\nParliaments amendments proposed\nthat the power to adopt delegated acts should be conferred on the\nCommission for a period of five years from the date of\nentry into force of the regulation (and not for an\nindeterminate period). The delegation of power shall be tacitly\nextended for periods of an identical duration, unless the European\nParliament or the Council opposes such extension not later than\nthree months before the end of each period.
\nOwing to the highly technical and\ncomplex nature of the delegated acts in certain policy areas,\nParliament proposed that the time limit for objections to the act\nshould be three months, extendable by a further three\nmonths at the initiative of the European Parliament or of the\nCouncil.
