Regulation (EU) 2024/2838

What it is

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council. ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council. BACKGROUND: reporting requirements play a key role in ensuring proper monitoring and correct enforcement of legislation. Reporting requirements can however also impose disproportionate burdens on stakeholders, particularly affecting SMEs and micro-companies, also given organisational and technological developments that call for original reporting requirements to be adjusted. Streamlining reporting obligations and reducing the administrative burden are therefore a priority. The Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection adopted the report by Anna CAVAZZINI (Greens/EFA/ALE, DE) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) No 1379/2013, Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 and Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards certain reporting requirements. The committee responsible recommended that the European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the proposal as follows: Regulation (EU) No 1379/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products, Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 on the approval and market surveillance of agricultural and forestry vehicles and Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles contain a number of reporting requirements in the fields of marketing standards and market surveillance. This proposal concerns limited and targeted amendments to the legislation with a view to simplifying the reporting requirements. These changes are based on the experience gained from the implementation of the legislation. The European Parliament adopted by 585 votes to 9, with 7 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) No 1379/2013, Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 and Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards certain reporting requirements. Parliament adopted its position at first reading taking over the Commission proposal.
