CONTEXT OF THE DELEGATED ACT

Regulation (EU) No 545/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 amending Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 on the organisation of a labour force sample survey in the Community modified Regulation (EC) No 577/98 in order to align it to the distinction between delegated and implementing act s introduced by the Lisbon Treaty and introduce d a provision on the financing of ad hoc modules.

When aligning the powers attributed to the Commission in Regulation (EC) N o 577/98 to the new institutional context, the legislator, inter alia, established that additional information should be included in the programme of ad hoc modules. As a result, the Commission is now required to include additional information in its progr amme of ad hoc modules. The existing programme of ad hoc modules, covering the years 2016 to 20
18, should therefore be amended accordingly.

The new ad hoc sub-modules take account of the Europe 2020 strategy and its flagship initiative ‘Youth on the Move’, the Commission Communication on a ‘Youth Opportunities Initiative’ , the 2012 Commission Communication ‘Towar ds a job-rich recovery’ and the strategy for equality between women and men, covering the period 2010-2015.
