Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 establishing measures for the recovery of the stock of European eel

Council Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 confers powers upon the Commission in order to implement some of the provisions of that Regulation. As a consequence of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the powers conferred under Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 upon the Commission need to be aligned to Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

The Commission should therefore be empowered to adopt delegated acts to take measures to address a significant decline of average market prices for eels used for restocking, as compared to those of eels used for other purposes. Likewise the Commission should be empowered to adopt implementing acts concerning the approval of Eel Management Plans by the Commission on the basis of technical and scientific data.
