Report on the exercise of the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on the Commission under Regulation (EC) No 1921/2006 on the submission of statistical data on landings of fishery products in Member States

Background and further information:

Regulation (EC) No 1921/2006 was modified by Regulation (EU) No 1350/2013 amending certain legislative acts in the field of agricultural and fishery statistics to align implementing powers with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Under Article 9 of this Regulation, the Commission is authorised to adopt delegated acts concerning technical amendments to Annexes I-IV.

The power to adopt delegated acts is conferred on the Commission for a period of five years from 10 January 2014. This power is to be tacitly extended for periods of five years unless the European Parliament or the Council object. The Commission is obliged to draw up a report on the delegation of power not later than nine months before the end of the five-year period. This report fulfils this obligation.

Up to the time of delivering this report, the collection of data under Regulation (EC) No 1921/2006 was stable and international definitions did not change. The Commission has therefore not yet deemed it necessary to exercise the delegated powers.
