Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2173/2005 on the establishment of a FLEGT licensing scheme for imports of timber into the European Community

The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) makes a distinction between the powers delegated to the Commission to adopt non-legislative acts of general application to supplement or amend certain non-essential elements of the legislative act as laid down in Article 290(1) of the TFEU (delegated acts), and the powers conferred upon the Commission to adopt uniform conditions for implementing legally binding Union acts as laid down in Article 291(2) of the TFEU (implementing acts).

In the context of the alignment of Regulation (EC) No 2173/2005 to the new rules of the TFEU, powers currently conferred to the Commission by that Regulation have been re-classified into measures of delegated nature and measures of implementing nature.

Following this exercise, a draft proposal for amendment of Regulation (EC) No 2173/2005 has been prepared.
