BAKGRUNN (fra kommisjonsforordningen)

(1) Regulation (EU) 2021/2117 of the European Parliament and of the Council amended Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. Articles 96, 97, 98, 105 and 106 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 were amended to include provisions taken from Articles 6, 10, 12, 14, 15 and 20 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33, which have then been deleted by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1606. Furthermore, following the amendments of Article 97 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 by Regulation (EU) 2021/2117, the provisions set out in paragraph 3 of that Article were moved to paragraph 4.

(2) For the sake of clarity and ease of use for the operators, the references in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/34 and in the Annexes thereto to Article 97(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and Article 12(1), (3) and (4), Article 14(1) and (2) and Article 20 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 should be adjusted accordingly.

(3) Regulation (EU) 2021/2117 also amended Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 as regards the content of the product specification and the grounds for cancellation. Detailed requirements for the description of the details bearing out the link in the product specification have been included in Article 94(2), point (g), of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. Additional grounds for cancellation have been included in Article 106 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

(4) As a consequence, for the sake of clarity and legal certainty, the requirements for the description of the details bearing out the link in the product specification provided for in Article 5(2), first subparagraph, of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/34 should be deleted. Furthermore, Annex VII to that Implementing Regulation, setting out the form of the cancellation request, should be aligned to Article 106 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 as regards the content of section 4, ‘Grounds for cancellation’.

(5) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/34 should therefore be amended accordingly.
