Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5

(5) In accordance with the evaluation of Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council50 there is a need to streamline the reporting deadlines for noise maps and action plans to allow sufficient time for public consultation of action plans. To that end, and for one time only, the deadline for the review or revision of the action plans is postponed by one year so that the deadline of the next round (the fourth round) of action plans is not 18 July 2023 but 18 July 2024. Thus, from the fourth round onwards, the Member States will have approximately two years between making the noise maps and completing the review or revision of action plans instead of one year as currently the case. For the following rounds of action planning, the five years cycle for the review or revision will then resume. Moreover, in order to better meet the objectives of the Directive 2002/49/EC and to provide a basis for developing measures at Union level, reporting by Member States should be carried out by electronic means. It is also necessary to enhance public participation by requiring c~~ertain~~omprehensible, accurate and comparable information to be made publicly available while aligning this obligation to other Union legislation, such as Directive 2007/2/EC, without duplicating practical requirements. _________________ 50 Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise (OJ L 189, 18.7.2002).

(6) In accordance with the findings of the REFIT evaluation of Directive 2004/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council,51 availability of information can be further improved in particular on certain key data. This will serve the purposes to inform the public on environmental damage instances, in particular where it is likely to be affected by such instances, to enable operators and authorities to undertake the necessary preventive and remedial action in such instances, ~~and~~ to provide the Commission with the required evidence base to carry out regular evaluations of the Directive and, ultimately, to improve environmental protection. The need to ensure a higher level of transparency is further underpinned by the requirements of Directive 2003/4/EC namely to make available information to the public that might result in a~~n imminent~~ threat to human and animal health or the environment. Online information should also fulfil requirements of Directive 2007/2/EC, in particular on services and accessibility of data to the public and to the authorities. _________________ 51 SWD(2016) 0121.

(7) Based on the Commission report to the Council and the European Parliament concerning the implementation of Directive 2007/2/EC and the REFIT evaluation52 , it is appropriate, with a view to simplifying the implementation of that Directive and reducing administrative burden related to monitoring by Member States, to no longer require Member States to send to the Commission triennial reports, and the Commission to present to the European Parliament and to the Council a summary report, because the reporting Fitness Check confirmed the limited use of such reports.53Nevertheless, the Commission should continue to carry out, at regular intervals, an evaluation of that Directive and make it publicly available. _________________ 52 COM(2016) 478 and SWD(2016) 273. 53 COM(2017) 312.

(10) In accordance with the findings of the REFIT evaluation57 of Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council58 , it ismay be necessary to amend ~~or abolish~~ the reporting obligations laid down in that Regulation. In order to enhance coherence with reporting under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council59 , it is necessary to confer implementing powers to the Commission to establish the type, format and frequency of information to be made available under Regulation (EC) No 166/2006, and to a~~bolish~~mend the reporting format currently laid down in that Regulation. It is also necessary to amend Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 on confidentiality to ensure greater transparency of reporting to the Commission. To minimise administrative burden on Member States and the Commission, it is further necessary to a~~bolish~~mend the reporting obligations laid down in Articles 16 and 17 of Regulation (EC) No 166/2006~~, as these provide information that is of limited value or does not correspond to policy needs. _________________ 57~~. _________________ 57 SWD(2017) 710.

(1a) The relevance and need for certain reporting obligations in the field of environmental policy is no longer clear and the frequency of reporting obligations and the timetable no longer respond to the main requirements of the policy cycle.

(3) ~~Data reported by Member States are~~The process of Member States’ comprehensive and timely reporting of relevant data is essential for the Commission to monitor, review and assess the performance of the legislation against the objectives it pursues in order to inform any future evaluation of the legislation, in accordance with paragraph 22 of the Interinstitutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission on Better Law-Making of 13 April 201649 . It is appropriate to add provisions to several legislative acts in the environmental sector for the purpose of their future evaluation, on the basis of data collected during implementation, possibly complemented by additional scientific, analytical data. In that context, there is a need for relevant data that will allow better assessment of the efficiency, effectiveness, relevance, coherence and EU value added of Union legislation, hence the necessity to ensure appropriate reporting mechanisms that can also serve as indicators for this purpose. _________________ 49 OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.
