The Committee on international Trade adopted the report by Christofer FJELLNER (PPE, SE) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items.
The Committee recommends that the European Parliament adopts its position at first reading in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure in modifying the Commission’s proposal in respect of the system for delegated acts laid down in Article 290 of the TFEU.
Members call for the Commission to ensure that the European Parliament is duly involved, drawing on best practices from previous experience in other policy areas in order to create the best possible conditions for future scrutiny of delegated acts by the European Parliament.
The delegation of power shall be conferred on the Commission for a period of five years from the entry into force of the Regulation, a period that shall be tacitly extended for periods of an identical duration, unless the European Parliament or the Council opposes such extension not later than three months before the end of each period.
The report specifies that where the updating of Annex I concerns dual-use items which are also listed in Annexes IIa-g or IV, those Annexes shall be amended accordingly.
