Part 3 of 4: EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Removed:EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Removed:The current proposal for a Regulation (2023/0362(COD)) along with another proposal for a Decision (2023/0361(COD)) amend in total 4 existing directives and 3 existing regulations as part of the Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme (REFIT). The proposals aim to simplify reporting requirements and cut administrative burden for stakeholders, specifically public authorities and the Commission in the policy area of road transport and aviation.
Removed:While reporting requirements do play a key role in the correct enforcement and proper monitoring of legislation, they also could come at a cost for stakeholders. At the same time, experience with the implementation of legislation as well as organisational and technological developments might render some reporting requirements as outdated, superfluous or not as beneficial.
Removed:The present exercise of reviewing and eliminating such unnecessary reporting requirements is welcomed by Parliament. The Council has also considered and welcomed the two proposals with a couple of small technical adjustments that can improve the text. Commission presented the current proposals to the Transport and Tourism (TRAN) Committee in the European Parliament during its meeting of 23 January 2024. It also endorsed the small corrections that Council has proposed. Based on the Commission presentation, as well as informal discussions with Council, your Rapporteur suggests in his draft report to approve the Commission proposal with the incorporated three amendments, in line with the simplified procedure (Rule 52(2)).
