agreement: around 4 million of costs for DG Environment and 1.6 million of costs for DG GROW. In addition DG GROW’s instrument covers the costs of the open data space and both instruments cover some studies and data purchase needs of the Commission services to properly prepare some of the implementing and delegated acts.

The amount reported above in 03.020101 budget line will be needed to finance part of the administrative arrangements between DG ENV/DG GROW and the JRC and for the procurement of studies and data related to DG GROW provisions. The AA is expected to represent around a cost of EUR 2.669 million to DG GROW. The procurement represents EUR 50 000 in 2023 for DG GROW to request a technical opinion on the standardisation work in CEN/CENELEC.

It also includes the amount budgeted for the intramuros support for the feasiblity study for the open dataspace. Following this initital development phase, possibly additional resources may be needed.

The IT development costs for the electronic information exchange for batteries are expected from DG GROW.

T his amount will be needed to increase the subsidy for ECHA and to finance admini strati ve arrangements between DG EN V/DG GROW and the JRC and for the procurement of studies and data related to the DG EN V provisions

he J RC will play a key role in supporting the Commission with some of the technical work required. T he J RC provided their best esti mate of resources needs based on their current knowledge and on the task list provied by DG ENV and DG GROW. T hese esti mates m ight threfore be fine-tuned e.g. during negotiation of an AA In particular with regards to the common specification on general purpose portable batteries, the scope was expanded in the latest version of the proposed regulation and the resources will have to be reviewed accordingly. T he AA is expected to represent around EUR 3.935 million to DG ENV. T here are several tasks where the JRC may support the Commission:

Developing common specifications on performance and durability for general purpose batteries and rechargeable industria l/ EV batteries;

Defining harmonised calculation rules for the declaration of carbon footprint for rechargeable industrial/EV batteries;

Defining harmonised calculation rules for recycled content in batteries, recycling efficiencies and recovered materials;

Analysing GPP criteria (including consul tation of public procurement sta keholders and legal check of the proposed public procurement rules);

Supporting the guidance on removability and re pl a ce a bil ity of portable batteries.

The procured activities include a data purchase for batteries in 2021 in order to revise the PEFCR for batteries, subcontracting the development of the PEFCR web-based tool in 2022, requesting a technical opinion on the standardisation work in CEN/CENELEC in 2023 and a market study on the availability of secondary
