Please note

This page contains a limited version of this dossier in the EU Monitor.

Annexes contain a large number of technical elements, and their adaptation might be required, i nter alia, in the light of technical developments, scientific advances or the functioning of the internal market.

So far, no amendments to those A nnexes were required following technical developments or scientific advances. Neither was a need for their amendment indicated by the competent authorities of M emberStates or by stakeholders.

4. CONCLUSION

The Commission has duly delivered the delegated act based on the empowerment provided for in Article 32(1) of R e g u I at i o n (EU) 2016/1012, i.e. C om mission LJelegated Kegulation (EU) 2017/1940. The C om mission sees a need to maintain that empowerment as future amend ments of that Delegated Regulation may be required.

As the three empowerments concerning delegated acts amending A nnexes III, IV and V to Regulation (EU) 201 6/101 2 are clearly linked to scientific or technical advances, the Commission sees the need to maintain all those empowerments to adopt delegated acts as provided for in that Regulation. The possible need to develop and adopt delegated acts based on those empowerments is likely to arise in the future. It is important to maintain the necessary flexibili ty in the legal framework, as technicalities in r\ nnexes III, IV and V to th e Regulation might need to be updated due to future technical developments or scientific advances, or in the light of the fun ctioning of the internal market.

W ith this reportthe Uom mission complies with the reporting requirement under Article 61(2) of Kegulation (EU) 2016/1012 and invites the European Parliament and the Uouncil to take note of this report.
