implementing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 58/97 with regard to derogations to be granted for structural business statistics
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 58/97 of 20 December 1996 concerning structural business statistics 1 , and in particular Article 12(x) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 58/97 established a common framework for the production of Community statistics on environmental protection expenditures as well as on the structure, activity, performance and competitiveness of pension funds.
(2) Article 11 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 58/97 provides that derogations from the provisions of the Annexes to that Regulation may be accepted during the transitional periods. In accordance with Section 10 of Annex 2 and Section 10 of Annex 7 to that Regulation, the transitional periods laid down may be extended by a further period in respect of certain characteristics.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1667/2003 of 1 September 2003 2 granted Member States derogations during a transitional period for the reference years 2001 to 2004 in respect of statistics on environmental protection expenditures and for the reference years 2002 to 2004 in respect of statistics on pension funds.
(4) Some Member States have asked for derogations for an extended transitional period from certain provisions of Annex 2 to Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 58/97 in respect of the characteristics 21 12 0 and 21 14 0 for the reference years 2005 to 2008 in order to put in place the necessary data collection systems or adapt the existing ones so that by the end of the transitional period the provisions of the Regulation will have been met.
(5) Several Member States have asked for derogations for an extended transitional period from certain provisions of Annex 7 to Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 58/97 in respect of pension funds for the reference years 2005 to 2007 in order to put in place the necessary data collection systems or adapt existing ones so that by the end of the transitional period the provisions of the Regulation will have been met.
(6) It seems justified to grant those derogations, as the Member States' requests are based on a legitimate need to further adapt their data collection systems.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Statistical Programme Committee,
