THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 81 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),

Whereas:

(1)

Annexes A and B to Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) list the designations given in the national law of the Member States to the insolvency proceedings and to the insolvency practitioners to which that Regulation applies. Annex A lists the insolvency proceedings referred to in point (4) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2015/848 and Annex B lists the insolvency practitioners referred to in point (5) of that Article.

(2)

On 3 January 2017, the Republic of Croatia notified the Commission of recent changes in its domestic insolvency law that introduce new types of insolvency proceedings. Those new types of insolvency proceedings are consistent with the definition of insolvency proceedings under Regulation (EU) 2015/848.

(3)

After the Commission presented its proposal, it received further notifications from the Republic of Bulgaria, the Republic of Croatia, the Republic of Latvia and the Portuguese Republic relating to recent changes to their domestic law that introduce new types of insolvency proceedings or insolvency practitioners. Furthermore, the Kingdom of Belgium notified the Commission of the adoption of a new law that introduces changes to its domestic insolvency law. That new law entered into force on 1 May 2018. Those new types of insolvency proceedings and insolvency practitioners comply with the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2015/848 and make it necessary to amend Annexes A and B to that Regulation.

(4)

(6)	In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Regulation and is not bound by it or subject to its application.

(7)	Annexes A and B to Regulation (EU) 2015/848 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
