Aligning a number of legal acts in the area of Justice with the TFEU (Article 290, Commission delegated powers)

2013/0220(COD)

The Committee on Legal Affairs adopted the report by József SZÁJER (EPP, HU) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council adapting to Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union a number of legal acts in the area of justice providing for the use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny (RPS).

At the time of adopting Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on comitology, the Commission undertook to assess by the end of 2012 the legislative acts containing references to RPS that remained in force, in order to prepare the appropriate legislative initiatives to complete the adaptation to the new legal framework. The overall objective was that, by the end of the 7th term of the Parliament, all provisions referring to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny would have been removed from all legislative instruments.

In keeping with that statement and further to the screening of existing legislation, the Commission put forward three proposals for a regulation adapting to Article 290 TFEU a number of legal acts providing for the use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny (RPS). (Please see 2013/0218(COD) and 2013/0365(COD)).

This report is related to a proposal covering five legislative acts in the area of Justice which still refer to the RPS. The report does not contain amendments.
