    COMMON POSITION (EC) No 3/2009

    adopted by the Council on 20 November 2008

    with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No …/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of … concerning statistics on plant protection products

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    (2009/C 38 E/01)

    THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

    Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285(1) thereof,

    Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

    Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

    After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

    Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2)

    Whereas:

    (1)

    Decision No 1600/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 July 2002 laying down the Sixth Community Environment Action Programme (3) recognised that the impact of pesticides on human health and the environment, in particular from plant protection products used in agriculture, must be reduced further. It underlined the need to achieve more sustainable use of pesticides and called for a significant overall reduction of risks and the use of pesticides consistent with the necessary crop protection.

    (2)

    In its Communication to the Council, the European Parliament and the European Economic and Social Committee entitled ‘Towards a Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides’, the Commission recognised the need for detailed, harmonised and up-to-date statistics on sales and use of pesticides at Community level. Such statistics are necessary for assessing policies of the European Union on sustainable development and for calculating relevant indicators on the risks for health and the environment related to pesticide use.

    (3)

    Harmonised and comparable Community statistics on pesticide sales and use are essential for the development and monitoring of Community legislation and policies in the context of the Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides.

    (4)

    Since the effects of the Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (4) will not become apparent until well after 2006, when the first evaluation of active substances for use in biocidal products will be finalised, neither the Commission nor most Member States currently have sufficient knowledge or experience to propose further measures regarding biocides. The scope of this Regulation should thus be limited to plant protection products covered by Regulation (EC) No…/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of … concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (5), for which a large experience already exists on data collection.

    (5)

    The experience of the Commission in collecting data on sales and use of plant protection products over many years has demonstrated the need to have a harmonised methodology for collecting statistics at Community level both from the stage of placing on the market and from users. Moreover, in view of the aim of calculating accurate risk indicators according to the objectives of the Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides, statistics need to be detailed up to the level of the active substances.

    (6)

    Among the different data collection options evaluated in the impact assessment of the Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides, mandatory data collection was recommended as the best option because it would allow the development of accurate and reliable data on the placing on the market and use of plant protection products quickly and cost-efficiently.

    (7)

    Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 of 17 February 1997 on Community Statistics (6) constitutes the reference framework for the provisions of this Regulation. In particular, it requires conformity to standards of impartiality, reliability, relevance, cost-effectiveness, statistical confidentiality and transparency.

    (8)

    The transmission of data subject to statistical confidentiality is governed by the rules set out in Regulation (EC) No 322/97 and in Council Regulation (Euratom, EEC) No 1588/90 of 11 June 1990 on the transmission of data subject to statistical confidentiality to the Statistical Office of the European Communities (7). Measures which are taken in accordance with those Regulations ensure the physical and logical protection of confidential data and ensure that no unlawful disclosure and non-statistical use occur when Community statistics are produced and disseminated.

    (9)

    The necessary protection of confidentiality on data of commercial value should be assured, among other means, by an appropriate aggregation when publishing statistics.

    (10)

    To guarantee comparable results, statistics on plant protection products should be produced in accordance with a specified breakdown, in an appropriate form and within a fixed period of time from the end of a reference year as defined in the Annexes of this Regulation.

    (11)

    The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (8).

    (12)

    In particular the Commission should be empowered to define the area treated and to adapt Annex III. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, inter alia by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

    (13)

    Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the establishment of a common framework for the systematic production of Community statistics on the placing on the market and use of plant protection products, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

    (14)

    The Statistical Programme Committee, established by Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom (9), has been consulted,

    HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

    STATEMENT OF THE COUNCIL'S REASONS

    I.   INTRODUCTION

    On 12 December 2006 the Commission submitted to the Council, on the basis of Article 285(1) of the EC Treaty, a proposal (1) for a Regulation concerning statistics on plant protection products.

    The European Parliament adopted its first-reading Opinion in March 2008 (see doc. 7412/08).

    The Economic and Social Committee adopted its Opinion in July 2007 (2). The Committee of the Regions decided in June 2007 that it would not adopt an Opinion.

    On 20 November 2008, the Council adopted its Common Position in accordance with Article 251 of the EC Treaty.

    II.   OBJECTIVES

    The proposal seeks to ensure that comparable statistical data are collected in all Member States, making it possible to calculate with other relevant data harmonised risk indicators.

    It provides, in particular, for harmonised rules for the collection and dissemination of data concerning the placing on the market and the use of plant protection products. It also instructs the Member States to collect data regularly, on how to collect data and how to transmit data to the Commission.

    III.   ANALYSIS OF THE COMMON POSITION

    1.   General observations

    In its first reading on 12 March 2008, the European Parliament adopted 26 amendments. In its Common Position, the Council took into account 5 amendments. Out of these, amendment 5 is fully incorporated while amendments 10, 13, 18 and 32 are accepted in spirit or partially incorporated.

    The Common Position also includes other changes, not envisaged by the European Parliament, which address a number of concerns expressed by the Member States in the course of negotiations.

    A number of technical and editorial amendments were also introduced to define the scope of some provisions, to make the wording of the Regulation more explicit and to guarantee legal certainty, or increase its consistency with other Community instruments.

    2.   Specific comments

    —   Extension of the scope of the Regulation

    Amendments 1, 6, 7, 8, 12, 15, 21 and 26 were not accepted by the Council since it considered that it would be burdensome for the respondents and administrations to extend the scope beyond sales and use.

    —   Inclusion of biocides

    Amendments 11, 12, 22, 33 and 34 were not accepted by the Council since the knowledge of and the experience with biocides are still limited and the impact is unknown since the sector is under development.

    —   Choice of data sources

    Amendment 14

    Requiring that the Commission approves the methods would involve a costly and cumbersome procedure. In line with the subsidiarity principle, the choice of data collection methods or data sources is the competence of the Member States.

    —   Evaluation of data collected by a qualified group of experts

    Amendment 31

    Such an evaluation can not be accepted by the Council because it goes beyond the purpose of the Regulation.

    —   Adaptation of the list of substances on a regular basis and in the light of ongoing consideration of active substances

    Amendment 19

    This suggestion may lead to unnecessary increase of the administrative burden.

    —   Confidentiality

    Amendment 16, 25, 30

    The Commission has the obligation to take all necessary measures to ensure the protection of the confidential data transmitted by the Member States as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 322/97. Therefore, there is no need to introduce new provisions or references in this respect.

    —   Annual reporting obligation on quantities of PPP

    Amendment 15 and 23

    The Regulation provides for the obligation for Member States to transmit to the Commission the required statistics. Member States shall select the data collection methods or data sources they consider the most appropriate. The obligation for reporting on the quantities of plant protection products produced, imported or exported have to be considered within the framework of the Regulation concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market.

    —   Publication of data

    Amendment 25 and 28

    The Council cannot accept to introduce in this particular Regulation the obligation for Member States to publish the statistics. The Regulation provides for the obligation for Member States to collect the necessary data and transmit the statistical results to the Commission.

    —   Definitions

    The definitions have been amended to take account of and align them to the ones used in the Regulation concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market.

    —   Governing principles

    Accuracy is not enumerated among the principles that shall govern Community statistics according to Regulation (EC) No 322/97 which is referred to in recital 8. The Council can therefore not accept amendment 3. However, this principle has been retained by the Council among the quality criteria in Article 4.

    —   Reference to Regulation (EC) No 322/97 and Regulation (EC) No 1588/90

    A new recital 8 has been introduced to clarify the framework within which the transmission of data has to be carried out and to recall how the confidentiality of data is ensured.

    —   Objectives

    The Council agrees to make a reference in Article 1 to Article 14 of the Directive on sustainable use of pesticides. However, the Council cannot accept that the purpose of the Regulation should be to implement and evaluate the Thematic Strategy on the sustainable use of pesticides as suggested by the EP in its Amendment 10.

    —   Quality assessment

    The Council has introduced an Article about quality assessment (Article 4). The quality assessment dimensions have already been inserted in other statistical files such as European Parliament and Council Regulations on population and housing censuses, concerning meat and livestock statistics, on energy statistics and on Community jobs vacancies.

    —   Implementation measures

    Since the Article introduced by the Council on quality assessment is quite specific, the reference to the regulatory procedures for the quality reports and reporting measures has been deleted. Furthermore, the definition of the ‘area treated’ has been moved from Annex II to Article 5 and the possibility for the Commission to amend the harmonised classification has also been moved from Annex III to Article 5.

    —   Annex II, Section I, coverage

    The Council has opted for providing the Member States with a large margin of appreciation to select the crops to be covered. The report on the implementation of the Regulation according to Article 7 will be an opportunity to evaluate if it is necessary to modify the selection of crops.

    IV.   CONCLUSION

    The Council considers that its Common Position represents a balanced and realistic solution for a number of concerns for this first effort to collect data that are comparable on plant protection products. It looks forward to a constructive discussion with the European Parliament with a view to a workable agreement on this Regulation.
