Please note

Annex I to the Regulation; and

• the variables/characteristics, size classes, degree of specialisation and vine varieties set out in Annex II.


However, the delegated acts may not change the optional nature of the information required.

In exercising this power, the Commission must ensure that the delegated acts do not impose a significant additional administrative burden on the Member States and on the respondents.

The Commission must draw up a report on the delegation of power not later than nine months before the end of the five-year period.

This brief report fulfils this obligation.

2. Commission exercise of delegated powers under Regulation (EU) No 1337/2011

The Commission has not yet exercised the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on it by Regulation (EU) No 1337/2011.

The Regulation covers the five-yearly collection of structural statistics on orchards and vineyards. The first data on orchards were collected in 2012 and these were delivered to the Commission (Eurostat) at the end of September 2013. Data on vineyards were first collected in 2015 and these are to be delivered to the Commission (Eurostat) by the end of September 2016.

At the time of delivering this report, experience of collecting data under the Regulation is limited to the single data collection on orchards. The Commission has therefore not yet deemed it necessary to exercise the delegated powers.


3. Conclusions

The Commission has not yet exercised the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on it by Regulation (EU) No 1337/2011.

The Commission is of the view that it should continue to have the delegated powers conferred by Article 11 of the Regulation as in the future it may need to issue a delegated act to modify the points mentioned in Article 4(3) of the Regulation.
