Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council adapting to Article 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union a number of legal acts providing for the use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny

Following the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council adapting to Article 290 TFEU a number of legal acts providing for the use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny (RPS) and the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council adapting to Article 290 TFEU a number of legal acts in the area of Justice providing for the RPS, the present proposal concerns the alignment of the remaining basic acts referring to the RPS.

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 meet the criteria of the TFEU. The analysis showed that some of the measures do not fall into the scope of Article 290 TFEU. In cases where those measures fulfil the criteria of Article 291 TFEU, it is therefore proposed that the Commission is empowered to adopt implementing acts. In few cases where the powers given to the Commission are not in accordance with the Treaty, it is proposed that the provisions in question are deleted.
