document COM(2018)18 EN
date January 12, 2018
Annexes I, II, IV and V. These annexes provide the definitions and categories for statistics on livestock and slaughtering, and for meat production forecasts.

According to Article 19(2) of that Regulation, the power to adopt delegated acts is conferred for a period of five years at a time 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.

2.Commission exercise of delegated powers under Regulation (EC) No 1165/2008

The Commission has not yet exercised the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on it by Regulation (EC) No 1165/2008.

There have been no changes to the definitions set out in Annexes I, II, IV and V of Regulation (EC) No 1165/2008 during the period in question. The changes in the technological and economic conditions were so minor that no amendment to the list of categories or adaptation of national and European statistical processes was necessary.

3.Conclusions

The Commission has not yet exercised the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on it by Regulation (EC) No 1165/2008.

The Commission considers that it should continue to have these powers as in the future it may need to adopt a delegated act to modify the points mentioned in Article 18 of the Regulation to meet the needs of data users in the context of the future common agricultural policy.
