In accordance with Article 37(2) of Directive 2014/90/EU, 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. The delegation of power is to 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.
2. COMMISSION EXERCISE OF DELEGATED POWERS UNDER DIRECTIVE 2014/90/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL OF 23 JULY 2014 ON MARINE EQUIPMENT
The Commission has exercised the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on it by Directive 2014/90/EU once during the reporting period.
The adopted act is the Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2021/1206 of 30 April 2021 amending Annex III to Directive 2014/90/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on marine equipment as regards the applicable standard for laboratories used by conformity assessment bodies for marine equipment.
It was adopted in accordance with Article 36 of the Marine Equipment Directive.
In 2017, ISO published a revision to standard EN ISO/IEC 17025 and has withdrawn the previous version of the standard, which could still be used during a three-year long transition period ending in November 2020.
In point 19 of Annex III to Directive 2014/90/EU, the reference to standard ‘EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005’ therefore had to be replaced by a reference to ‘EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017’.
3. CONCLUSIONS
The Commission sees the need to extend the empowerment because of the need to supplement or amend respective provisions of the Directive to a constantly changing list of marine equipment items falling into the scope of the Directive (Article 11), to updated international standards linked to the requirements to be met by conformity assessment bodies (Article 36) and in order to remove serious and unacceptable threats to maritime safety, to health or to the environment within a short time span should this become necessary (Articles 8 and 27).
