Article 29
Exercise of the delegation
1.
The power to adopt delegated acts is conferred on the Commission subject to the conditions laid down in this
Article.
2.
The power to adopt delegated acts referred to in Article 24 shall be conferred on the Commission for a period of
five years from 16 December 2016. The Commission shall draw up a report in respect of the delegation of power not
later than nine months before the end of the five-year period. The delegation of power shall be tacitly extended for

three months before the end of each period.
3.
The delegation of power referred to in Article 24 may be revoked at any time by the European Parliament or by
the Council. A decision to revoke shall put an end to the delegation of the power specified in that decision. It shall take
effect the day following the publication of the decision in the Official Journal of the European Union or at a later date

As soon as it adopts a delegated act, the Commission shall notify it simultaneously to the European Parliament and
to the Council.
6.
A delegated act adopted pursuant to Article 24 shall enter into force only if no objection has been expressed either
by the European Parliament or the Council within a period of two months of notification of that act to the
European Parliament and the Council or if, before the expiry of that period, the European Parliament and the Council
have both informed the Commission that they will not object. That period shall be extended by two months at the
initiative of the European Parliament or of the Council.
Article 30
Urgency procedure
1.
Delegated acts adopted under this Article shall enter into force without delay and shall apply as long as no
objection is expressed in accordance with paragraph 2. The notification of a delegated act to the European Parliament
and to the Council shall state the reasons for the use of the urgency procedure.
2.
Either the European Parliament or the Council may object to a delegated act in accordance with the procedure
referred to in Article 29(6). In such a case, the Commission shall repeal the act immediately following the notification of
the decision to object by the European Parliament or by the Council.
